THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
After spending the next few weeks at home in recovery (with limited movement- as if she were holding a glass of milk without spilling) she went back to meet with Dr. Gilbert on June 2nd, 2020 to get the "all clear" with no restrictions! At this time (hopefully never) she does not require chemo or radiation, therefore her immune system is not compromised. TIME TO PARTY!!!!
What day June 2nd was; she was also able to enjoy celebrating her 13th birthday (May 31st) with a few friends by taking a limo ride thru the city and a late night sleepover filled with teenager shenanigans !
Motivated to get back to full strength, she went on a few runs and got in some much needed (and missed) footwork. On June 15th she was able to take the field and assist with tryouts for her club soccer team AYSO UNITED 07G #weareunited
We were able to take a day trip to High Falls and Guntersville State Park, where were went for a hike and enjoyed the beautiful waterfalls. Deer watching at dusk still amazes us!
Kaylee decided she wanted to try "something new", so she reached out to her MMS PE Coach Kelly asking her about trying out for the school volleyball team. Next thing I know, there is a volleyball net up in the back yard (in front of the soccer goal) and she is practicing how to serve overhand! Wait, what? Yes, she was determined to work hard and set this as her next goal. No more sleeping in till noon! On the morning of July 7th she started working out and training with other students at MMS. Since then she has filled several mornings with volleyball workouts and her evenings with soccer training.
Throughout these last few months since her surgery, Kaylee's tenacity has resulted in her making a come back on the soccer field and today she was notified she made the 8th grade Monrovia Middle School Volleyball team! She is super excited and looking forward to putting in more hard work to continue to achieve her goals! What will she do next...............
