Taylor's birthday age 9

We took Taylor to Texas road house and they had him sit on a saddle while they sang to him. He also enjoyed throwing peanut shells at his sisters.

Football star

Taylor had such a great season. He was so fun to watch. He is very talented and dedicated. His last game he broke his hand in two places in the second quarter and played the rest of the game. He even made two extra points. He is such a tough guy.
Scott broke his arm also. They are peas in a pod.

Baby Krysta!

Krysta Lillian Lane weighed 8lbs 2oz born at 2:27 Am on the 6th of September.She was 22in long and nice and chubby.

This whole pregnancy has been crazy. I have gained so much weight and not done very much of anything to take care of my body. If I had to be on bed rest that would have been no problem because that's were I was this whole pregnancy. We were up at the hospital and making every one more and more nervous every day. I told them it wasn't a big deal just stick me in a wheel chair and roll me down the hall. The day they got us out she was born about 5 hours after we got home. I kept telling every one not to worry my water always beaks and then we still get about 2 days. Boy was I wrong. It was a wonderful birth. If I would walk fast I couldn't even feel my contractions. I didn't get to use the tub as much as I wanted to. My midwife wanted me to feel my contractions so my uterus would contract back down. She didn't want me to hemrage. For the last hour I was cussing her not really. The recovery was awesome though and so worth that last hour and when you have a two year old going through as much as she's going through you can't really complain. Lilly nursed right away for a few hours. For my first baby yet I was up all night. I didn't mind because I'm use to it with ari. One morning I remember telling Travis I actually slept really good I was only up 7 times. I was totally serious but as soon as I said it it made me laugh. The reason Lilly was up was because she was hungry. She just kept screaming and tugging at my chest. It was funny. As soon as my milk came in she ate like a little piggy and went right to sleep. She is my first binky baby hurray. Now I know what all the rave was all about. She us such a easy wonderful baby. Thank you heavenly father. Compared to ari she is so low maintenance. Arianna loves her baby and is so cute with her. Lilly's birth and recovery were awesome. She is very strong at about 5 weeks she had her first roll and right after she got here she lifted her head. She is also super smiley. We thought of krysta when we were in the temple. It means follower of Christ. Lillian was my great grandmas name. Oh and I stole it from Danny. Sorry. all the kids are great helpers. Alaina loves holding and changing her baby sister. She reminds me a lot of kaley as a baby she is always talking. I remember having to take kaley out of church because she was laughing so loud. She looks a lot like zed. She has his squinty eyes. A few days after she was born I was changing her and taylor says oh man so she is a girl. Apparently he thought we were playing a joke on him. He just wants some one to tease and wrestle. He cracks me up. Him and Travis are a little nervous about protecting that much virtue. Having 4 beautiful girls does that. We are so glad she is here. It so funny how when they come it feels like they have been there the whole time. Your family feels more complete.










All my girls.

Ari's herpes

We thought Ari just had mouth sores because one of her chemos gives her mouth sores. So we were sent home and they started getting worse and worse it turns out she got Herpes really bad. She couldn't eat, talk and she could barely drink. The only thing we could get her to drink was coke. Now we have a 2 year old that is a coke addict. I tried torturing her by making her take stuff in a syring but after a few weeks she looked awful so we started her on feeds through a feeding tube.It ended being herpes. Two months latter she finally stated eating. She ended up having herpes, EBV, infected lip nodes, and fishers. She was in the ICU at primaries for a few days and we almost lost her. Travis took her up himself since the baby was do any day.

Here is a email from Travis.


Hello Everyone,

Just a quick update about Ari. Some of you may know that we have been in and out of the hospital for the last 7 weeks, mainly in St. George. But we have been at Primary Childrens since Thursday (August 26, 2010). Mom was up here with me while we spent over a day in ICU. Haley couldn't take it anymore remaining in St. George so she came up yesterday evening. She was staying in St. George because she is due any day to have the baby. Actually her due date is on the 4th of September. But she has always been 10 days late with all of the other kids. Anyways we have decided to have both of us up here at PCH and have made arrangements that if she does go into labor we literally just have to walk over to the University Hospital. We won't even have to go outside and get into a car. The kids are with Grandma Bradshaw. They are on their second week of school and they really like it. Taylor is playing contact football and Haley recorded his games last Saturday and without being an unbiased father, he is unbelievable!

Ari is definitely struggling. The list of her infirmities is very long and the discomfort and pain that it is causing to her body is very sad. It is not just one single symptom that is killing her it is a multitude of diseases, viral's, bacterias and infections. Just one of those symptoms would bring me to my knees begging God to take my spirit to allow my physical body to be alleviated from the pain.

She has herpes that has infected her mouth down her throat through her digestive tract all the way to her rectum. She also has a viral called EBV. I forget what it stands for, but it is causing her body to not be able to heal and reproduce white and red blood cells. She also has staph and strep--not the normal strep that most people get but the kind that eats through your skin and organs. Obviously the pain of all of these is extremely painful. I am seriously blown away of how she continues to bare it.

The cancer has moved into her jaw on both sides and into the base of her skull as well as into her lip nodes. So now the LCH is in her liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen top of her skull, the base of her skull her jaw and her lip nodes. The doctors were joking today saying that this is a new disease and it should be named after Ari. But they were serious when they said that they had never seen anything like this and they are amazed as to how she continues to fight this disease.

The plan now is to get her healed of the Herpes, staph, strep, and EBV. Once she is healed of those bacterias, virals, and infections then they are going to work on the Cancer. They are very concerned about the cancer in the lip nodes especially because that will aggressively spread and it is a large chance that it is in her bone marrow. So we are closer to the bone marrow transplant and hopefully the new baby's placenta will match. If not we will start with Taylor then Kaley then Laney. Then, if they don't match we will move on to Ron and Vicki's kids (LOL).

I did not know that bone marrow transplant was so risky. The doctor explained the risks of the transplant and now I understand why it is the very last resort.

Thanks for all of your help and love.

Love
Travis








I'm having a hard time tonight. I have never been away from her. But since the baby is due any day,Travis took her up this time. She almost died tonight. They are now in intensive care. I've always said to myself it would be ok if she skipped of to heaven. She is in so much pain I would have to be really selfish to not want her to receive relief. Tonight I realized that I still feel the same way but if it is going to happened I want it to be in my arms. I think the only reason I'm ever strong is because I have this amazingly strong spirit nestled in my arm and my spirit just feeds of her's. She is so amazing in every way. I am so grateful for her. Thank you Heavenly Father for sending me such a beautiful angel.

I'm sure every thing will seem brighter in the morning.
but for now thanks for all the prayers.
