Sorry we have not kept up with updates, we turned our attention onto walking this journey with Kaani. Medically Kaani has done so much as far as her medical care is concerned and her wound has really progressed well through a series of specific wound care treatments that happen bi-weekly and adding a wound vac which has created new skin growth which is fantastic! Bloodwork has stabilized and since the last update Kaani has remained in outpatient treatment with home care and a lot of weekly doctor visits to manage her care.

Kaani received a benefit from a wonderful organization called Join the Flock and was highlighted as the first recipient of 2025. the beautiful and kind words shown to our sister and her endless dedication to not only her faith but her church, education and community has been her life's work, it was so special to see the table turn and see Kaani get a recipient donation to help bills as her medical journey has made it impossible for her to work and maintain her care. 

Cancer battles are never easy, it changes entire lives but Kaani has taken advantage of all the medical community has offered her since August and we are seeing some outstanding results because of this. It wasn't an easy decision for her to step away from working but at this stage her care is her priority. Certainly has impacted her financially but so many blessings have come in many ways and we thank any and all of you for providing not only prayers, but any support as our sister continues her fight with metastatic breast cancer.

Kaani is back home after a hard week, the great  news is she has completed radiation, whoooo hoooo and has started hormone blockers and chemo. Radiation is showing it has made progress towards the tumors, wonderful news but blood levels to remain in a good range still present challenges. She has experienced some residual effects in her throat from radiation, but this should improve in the weeks to come. Cancer never seems to take much a rest in so many folks lives, for our sister this has rang true in her journey. A special thanks to Tressa, a very dear friend of Kaani for all of your time, prayer, support and love you have shown our sister from the start of her diagnosis. We are thankful she had you along the way and you are a true blessing to her! Thank you again Amy for continuing so get food stocked for Kaani, the watermelon continues to remain a favorite! We pray this week can be one of strength for Kaani and thank you all for your continued support. Nana, Kaani's cat is very thankful to have her home too!!

Sunday night Kaani had to go back to the hospital and was admitted with a fever and high heart rate. She had some fluid in her lungs so suspected pneumonia but they drew fluid off yesterday to get a better picture. Was a very rough first day, please. Continue to share this campaign to as many as you can. We are a small family and know to grow this it will take a lot of help from all who know and lives have been touched by Kaani. Our next expense comes at the first part of October which is the genetic testing. Insurance helps but doesn’t cover the full cost and will leave a good chunk to Kaani. This test is very important for her family members and their future if it comes back positive. Thank you again for all your support while Kaani continues to have faith and hold it in Gods hands. 2 more radiation treatments, but the tumor is shrinking!!

Kaani is now home, thank you to Amy for getting food to the house as this continues to be a battle, having an appetite. Next week will complete radiation and start a new med to stop duplication of cancer cells. Gods blessed Kaani with a wonderful home health nurse that will be there 3x a week for care. Kaani continues to push on with this journey despite the daily challenges. Thank you all for your support. 

Kaani remains in the hospital, we are hoping to get her home in outpatient treatments sometime this week and want to thank all of you who have given her support be it in prayer, through donations and in reaching out to support her in a variety of ways. This week we were able to get her home set up so when she arrives, she will be comfortable and several have reached out regarding food needs, thank you so much for this. We continue to ask you share, share, share this campaign and or reach out to Kaani direct to help support this journey forward. 

Kaani is very private, she has weathered this battle quite privately, but now is having to open up her circle and get more support. I know this is very hard for Kaani, but she has spent her life serving others and now is in need of being on the other side of being supported. Know she is deeply appreciative for each and every one of you and so are we as her family. Kaani would love to get back to work, but at this time during her treatment she has to focus on healing. Last week her church members came and did some cleaning and got her yard looking so beautiful, thank you so much for this as it took a big load off of her. Energy is very low, so some of these basic things just get pushed aside during these times. 

Most of her family lives out of town, Kim and I (sisters) along with her daughter Destinee are back in their home towns but she has the support of her son AJ and wonderful friends locally. We are working on raising funds to take care of a roof issue currently, we got a lot of stuff done this week to help the weeks to come. Again, any support is so appreciated and continued prayers as we continue to support our in this battle of cancer.
