Updating a pic with Kai & Rine! Please shower then with prayers that Kai comes home soon. 

Yesterday Kai was hospitalized very weak and unable to eat due to sores in his mouth & throat.  He is receiving a transfusion and IV hydration as he is not feeling well. We are unsure how Ling he will be in. His Mom Rine has to work while he is hospitalized so he is being strong while she's away! Please keep them in your prayers and if you can donate or a share to help, it is greatly appreciated!!

I just heard from Rine today and Kai is in a LOT of pain today. Pain meds aren't really knocking out down yet.  Please serve up prayers for Kai and some pain relief for him.  May God continue to bless you all & I thank you in advance for any prayer or donation that is sent on Kai's behalf.

Sorry for the delay in updating Kai's progress.  He continues to receive treatment and is attending school for a couple of hours a few times a week. Needless to say, this disease has taken a lot away from him. He should be enjoying school and his friends not having to spend the days in the hospital during his treatments. 

Please continue to remember Kai and the family in your prayers and if you see fit to donate, they are appreciative of any donations you might give as well.

It has been a minute since we updated everyone on Kai's progress and treatments. He was unable to have his chemotherapy this week, due to his low blood count. He is taking this week off and will try again next week.  His treatments have been reduced to every other week, or twice a month for January and February. We are thankful for a break in the treatment, so he can regain his appetite and gain a little weight.

Kai and the family had a wonderful Christmas due to a generous donor organization who gave in honor of his daughter that has passed away from Leukemia.  This donation was very helpful in purchasing gifts, food and even covering some expenses that had incurred since Kai has been in the hospital so much since his diagnosis. We are so thankful for their donation and helping Kai to smile through this challenging time. 

Donations and prayers are still appreciated. We are thankful for all who continue to pray for Kai's healing!

Just received an update from Rine. Kai is still really sleepy after the procedure but I was able to see his smile behind the sleep.  We have gotten amazing news that Kai and his family will be receiving a generous donation from an organization that raises money for kids with Leukemia. This should be coming through in the next few days and will help to make their Christmas and Kai's birthday a little more joyful. They won't have to go without this Christmas season. 

Due to the nature of this cancer, Kai is scheduled to receive chemo for many more months. The above donation will be depleted, and we are still asking for prayers and for you to please SHARE this page with others.

Thank you to all those who have donated thus far, your prayers and contributions have been used for gas & food for all the trips back and forth to the hospital. If you find it in your heart to give this holiday season, I know the family would greatly appreciate it. God Bless you all & thank you for considering Kai when you give.

I saw this quote today and it so reminds me of Kai and his amazing smile " In the face of adversity, your smile lights up the world!"  Thank you all for helping Kai smile this holiday season! God Bless!!

Please keep Kai and his family in your prayers.  He has landed back in the hospital with side effects due to the treatments two weeks in a row. Pray that he's able to handle this round better.

In honor of National Kindness Day, won't you consider donating to Kai and his fight! Thank you to all who have donated already and continue to pray. It is greatly appreciated.  As we enter into this holiday season may you all be blessed and may we continue to love one another. 

Kai is currently at the ER, his pain was so bad that his mom Rine rushed him to the ER so they could get it under control. Please joining me in prayer that Kai may find comfort to rest and gain strength through this treatment.  May God comfort him and his family and give them all strength to get through these next weeks/ months as he fights this Leukemia. In Jesus name we pray!

 Kai's mom Rine sent me a copy of Kai's treatment schedule for November!  Please continue your prayers and support as the treatment progresses. He receives spinal tap chemo infusions on Tuesday's with 3 days of infusions Wednesday-Friday. 

The emotional & financial burden that this can, cause running back and forth to the hospital, is staggering.  If you could share with family and friends on behalf of Kai, it would be appreciated.

Kai was in for a 3-hour treatment today and will be starting his next block of treatments next week where he will travel to the hospital 4 days in a row. He sent a video to say hello, but I couldn't help but think how sad he looked. Rine said that he doesn't like being in the hospital for treatments. I can't say I blame him one bit!  Would love to bring some smiles to his face, especially with the holidays coming up.  His siblings are sad seeing him like this and when he has to go to the hospital. If you could please continue your prayers and share his story, so that we might get more support for him and his family. This is going to be a long haul and they appreciate all the prayers, thoughts and support that everyone is giving.

Let's all join Kai's marathon and help him to that finish line! God Bless you all!

Just got to Facetime Kai and Rine today, it was so good to see their faces!  Kai said that he is feeling good, a little stomach upset with nausea and he's tired though.  He's able to be online for school while he takes his chemotherapy treatments, which will help him stay up with his class.  

Thank you for all the prayers and donations. The prayers are helping the family through this trying time and the donations are helping so that Rine can stay home with Kai.  Please continue to support with prayers and if you don't mind sharing this site, so that we can continue to show the family our love.

Be someone's strength today!

After spending the night at home, Kai ended up at the hospital in Springdale for some blood work due to back pain and nausea.  He is undergoing another chemotherapy treatment today in Springdale and will get chemo treatments every Friday for the next 4 weeks.

Family is happy to have Kai and Rine home and they are just as happy to be there too! The picture I am sharing today is from 2021 and I was able to see Kai and Martin for a few minutes before they moved from Coldwater.  

Thank you again for your prayers and donations. If we could ask for you to share the link to your social media, we would appreciate it. This journey has just begun, and we need all the support and encouragement we can get!

Kai and Rine will be heading back home on Wednesday! After a round of chemo and some extra blood, Kai packed his bags to head back home in the morning!  He will continue treatments there and come back to Little Rock every few months for check ups and monitoring his progress.

Kai will be able to do school work online as his body adjusts to the chemo and the side effects that can come with it.  He will be online until the Dr's give him the green light to go back to in person class.

Thank you again to those who support with donation and prayer. Your generosity is appreciated. 

God is Good!! We thank you Lord for watching over Kai, Rine and the family as they learn to navigate this road they are on. May You continue to shine through them daily and give them strength for the duration of this fight. In Your mighty name we pray! Amen.

It's Monday and Kai's appetite is slowly returning. He enjoyed going to the gaming room today to spend some time and Mom Rine has been taking him outside for some fresh air.  

Tuesday 13/23  is another chemo round for one hour. Please pray that he has no adverse reactions to the medication & that his body is able to stay strong to fight the leukemia.  Thank you to those who have donated support and prayer. 

I just listened to an evangelist with cerebral palsy today and he said something that really HIT me "God gave you a healthy body, what are YOU doing for the Kingdom of GOD?"  Even with cerebral palsy, David is shining for Jesus, he says "God uses BROKEN THINGS!" May we all use the breath within us to praise HIS name through all the seasons in our lives and in our broken-ness!

Sending Love!

Had an update from Mom Rine that Kai's first round of chemo is done and he is scheduled for a second longer round on Tuesday 13/23.  She sent a video of him playing video games and also posted this morning a video of him eating breakfast. 

Please continue to pray that Kai tolerates these treatments well and it is able to fight off the leukemia. Please pray for strength for Rine and the family as they spend these days apart while she is in Little Rock with Kai. 

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

This message spoke to me today as a strong reminder that "God is all we need" to get us through our difficult times. 

God Bless you all
