The roller-coaster ride of an 9-year-old boy's brain cancer: the parents' perspective
Monday, May 21, 2012
Soon, and very soon
Kol is fading quickly. The doctors say it may be hours, it may be days, but it probably won't be weeks. After his seizure this morning, Kol had a brief time awake, but hasn't opened his eyes since. He is showing signs of neurological decline, and his breathing is becoming irregular and laboured. We are taking him home to Outlook tonight, with medicine and supplies to keep him comfortable. We ask for your prayers for Kol and for our family.

I had heard a lot about Kol and his condition but it never hit home until I realized that Kol was short for Kolbjorn. I was a senior in dance at Conquest and I remember sitting in the hallway waiting for my next lesson. I would be doing my homework or listening to music and Kolbjorn would be right there beside me. He was always bright and full of life as he played detective with his imaginary magnifying glass or explained to me how a Kinder Surprise worked on countless occasions. He could always make me laugh and I was heart stricken the moment I realized that this same joy is the one having suffered so much. My prayers are with you and Kolbjorn, I will always remember him and his stories, jokes and of course the detailed description of the Kinder Surprise. "First, you open it up! And there's a chocolate egg inside! When you open the egg there is white chocolate and another plastic container. Once you open that there is a toy, you even get to put it together!!"

ReplyDeleteMy heart sunk when I read this post. Kristen, I am so sorry for not keeping in touch with you. I had no idea the mountains and valleys you've been navigating. The knots in my stomach will remind me to pray without ceasing for your peace beyond understanding.

Our family prayer for you tonight - is that you will see a tangible and overwhelming glimpse of His Glory during this time... knowing He is ever present - holding Kol and each one of you.
ReplyDeleteLove from the Moreys
I am very sorry. What a difficult battle for a little boy and his family. I am reminded of something a doctor said to another cancer patient, "I am not God." It is now in His hands.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear this. Wish I had the words to take the pain away. The strength of your family is admirable. Our prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteDear family. We are all thinking of you in these difficult days. All our love and lots of prayers from us in Norway.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are breaking for you, our prayers are always with you. Mark, Heather and Jackson Hedlin
ReplyDeleteNothing will separate all of you and our precious Kol, from the love of God in Jesus. As you cry, God's love, peace, joy, and comfort is present within each moment.
ReplyDeleteI am loving you, too.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless all of you.
