Emily's Journey

Emily's journey started on Friday 8 January, 2010 where it was discovered that after some time of being unwell, her body has actually been fighting cancer. This site is dedicated to those who want to encourage her through this journey.

Hi everyone,

Emily is getting more and more tired as the days go by. She is dozing intermittently throughout the day in our bed watching/listening to DVD’s. She walks from the bedroom to the couch and that’s about it. No complaints of pain which is still well managed. Emily is not interested in playing with her toys, reading, seeing friends, or drawing anymore. She’s quite content just being around family, and that is how it will be from now on. We have no idea how long this will go on for Emily. Hopefully it’s not too drawn out for her…

Kath and Gary

Just arrived back from seeing Natasha, who is superfit I might add , couldnt keep up with her on our walks!!!

She sends her love to Emily as to you Katherine, is very sad about what you are going through as we are.

Lost for words today…..hardly fair that a vibrant young person has to weather this kind of storm. Someone with her talents too. Hope you can manage some drawings for Mum and Dad Emily they are very precious.

Rest wee friend…..

Lots Love The Kesselers XXXX

Hope you’re enjoying the rainy Labour Day in your loving home and that there is lots and lots of yummy family time on carpets, in the hallways, at the dining table, with Emily at her bed. It’s hard to imagine that there’s a newborn being passed around too! Wishing you lots of strength of mind and community in these busy days.
