- Hi
Scott and Wendy! I just listening to one of my favorite cds. It's
Christian music and one of the songs on it made me think of what you
must be going through. I am so happy to hear of Katie's tremendous
progress. It's amazing what miracles can occur with the power of
prayer. I wish you guys the best and remember everybody out here in
Arizona is thinking about you and praying for you all. Love, Kaleigh
This is
the chorus to that song: "I was sure by now God you would have reached
down and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. But once
again I say amen and it's still raining. But I will praise you in this
storm and I will lift my hands. You are who you are no matter where I
am. And every tear I've cried you hold in your hands. You never left my
side and though my heart is torn...I will praise you in this storm."

and I are sitting here thinking about Katie and you guys. Blake says
"get better". Just want you to know we are always thinking of you
and we continue to pray for Katie's complete healing and strength
for whatever life brings you next. I know the days are endless with
huge amounts of stress. If I could take it all away in a second I
would. Please let me know what I can do to ease your stress and
minds in any way. I wish I could be there everyday but certain
circumstances will not allow. Stay strong, lean on each other and
your family and take care of yourselves. I miss you greatly and want
so much to be there by your side. We love you and are here for you
for whatever you need. Katie we love you and know God will heal you
and bring you through this stronger than ever. Love Trish

- Scott and Wendy, Just a
note to let you know I haven't forgotten about you guys and Katie.
It's real hard finding a sitter for the kids so I can come down to
see you, especially with Tricia working weekends. So, don't think
for a minute that you're forgotten. I think about you all every day
and wish I could Be there to see her progress. Keep your head up
high and hopefully you'll be home soon. I am so glad that we are
becoming a close family like one should be. Thanks to my wife and
Steve and Elaine for doing all you can and coming together as well.
This has definitely been a learning experience for all and I hope
no-one will have to go through this. Like good ol' Springer would
say "take care of yourself and each other". I will try to come down
this weekend, tell Katie hi for her FAVORITE UNCLE, and we'll see
you soon. Love, Brian Kokes

- Scott
and Wendy, Just a little reminder that we are all pulling for little
Katie out here in AZ. Such a precious baby girl !!! The website was
a great idea and thanks Jeremy sooo much for all your hard work and
commitment to the site. Wish we could be there in person to help
even more; but know that my family prays for Katie daily since day
#1. That little girl has truly opened many eyes and hearts. The
prayers we have read day after day mixed with the results to which
Kaitlyn continues to conquer is absolutely amazing! PRAISE GOD; he
NEVER stops ...Katie is our families little miracle baby! But, even
miracle baby's cost alot of money when they are sick, hospitalized,
and recovering! So along with our prayers ,let us all dig deep into
our pockets; even small amounts help to build bigger amounts! We may
not be able to give alot, but please accept our monthly donation for
as long as Katie shall need. KEEP STRONG, PRAISE GOD OFTEN FOR THE
MIRACLE HE HAS GIVEN YOUR FAMILY<AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL LOVED BY
MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE!!!! We love and miss you
all. Anything we can do from AZ., please let us know! God Bless!!!
LOVE, Aunt Karen, Uncle Darren, Dustin, and Dylan Nissen

- I
want to say a special thank you to Jay for this beautiful site and
how much it means to those who cannot always be here. Thanks to Aunt
Jo and Colleen for being here and all you do for Wendy & Scott.
Thanks to my parents for taking care of Tyler, Leslie for handling
all the finances and to the city of Grand Island for your kindness,
opening your arms and hearts to this beautiful family. Thanks to my
husband for his continued support and understanding so I can be here
and to my friends at home for your support especially Carrie for all
you do. I love you all so much. I am so blessed to be a part of your
lives and hope someday can do for you all as you have done for me
and my family. You are all special people. We have all grown from
this and most importantly my relationship with my amazing sister who
I now look up to. Love you guys so much. Love Tricia Kokes

- Wendy and Scott: Hello to
you both from Grand Island. I continue to read the daily progress of
Katie, keeping her in my prayers and feeling a sense of amazement as
I see her illness turn healthy. Still many steps to walk before you
can all run again but the progress has been unbelievable. You must
be wore out......I can only imagine how exhausting it has to be. You
are two strong people.
The second floor attorneys
have relocated to the fifth floor. There is still a tremendous
amount of work, organizing, moving, etc to be done but it is
beginning to look so nice. I still am not crazy about the color
scheme but it is a warm and professional looking office. SOOO much
space.....it is really nice to not be so crowded in a small office
of 8 people.
I have not seen Lori or
any of the third floor for days. Of course, I was in California with
the kids all last week so I haven't seen anyone! I did see Ruby's
car in the parking lot so you still have good coverage! That seems
to have worked out well or so it appears to me! I can't wait for you
to return. I miss walking into the building with you and chatting in
the elevator!
The girls at the office
continue to think of you all daily. We are all so optimistic about
Katie's recovery. It sounds like Tyler is doing better too....bless
his heart. It has to be difficult for everyone. Stay
strong.........the journey will be long but we are all thinking
positive! Your support system out weighs all others......you are
surely blessed!
More
soon.......Merry Johnson

- WoW!!
Katie is so amazing and doing so great. I so much enjoy the times I
get to see her and spend time with her. She is truly a gift sent to
you and us. She has taught us all so much about the meaning of life,
to not take anything for granted, appreciate, love and support your
family and open your arms to strangers and most importantly God.
Katie's progress comes from God and all the prayers from around the
world. It amazes me that so many people have opened their hearts and
stories for Katie and to help Wendy & Scott know there are miracles
and to keep hope. This all has changed my faith, belief in people
and my relationships with family. I have grown stronger ties with my
family and received new people in my life I now consider family.
Katie we love you, think about you every second and continue to pray
for your complete healing and continued strength to endure what life
has to come for you. Wendy & Scott I am so proud and amazed by you
and all you have overcome and dealt with. Love you all so much.
Thanks again to everyone for the prayers, donations, time spent,
love and support. God bless you all. Tricia Kokes

Scott & Wendy, I am overjoyed to hear that Kaitlyn is cancer-free!
Who would have thought when you began this journey that you would
see God's powerful hand move in such a mighty way in the life of
your precious child? God has honored your faith and the faith of
your family, your community, your friends, and those around the
country who placed Katie in his care! Your lives will NEVER be the
same and although we don't know what the future holds, we DO know
who holds the future! May God continue to bless you and may you

- Wendy and Scott - You
probably don't recognize who we are. I, am Andy's sister. We learned
of little Katie's illness while we were traveling. We immediately
lifted her up in prayer along with both of you and all those who
love her. She also is in the prayers at our church. These prayers
will continue, both personal and in the church will continue. Here
is a prayer that we are lifting up today.
God's Blessings
continuing.......Even though you don't know us, we love you all!
Dear Lord Jesus, when you
walked upon this earth, You healed the sick, gave sight to the
blind, caused the lame to walk and raised the dead. Now we come to
You in behalf of little Katie who is so very ill. We pray that You
would send her your healing power to her and continued strength to
her parents and to all those who love Katie so dearly.
Dearest Lord, You have
suffered all things. You know and understand all pain and suffering.
We ask You to ease Katie's pain and suffering, to quiet tears of
those who so dearly love her and to direct all eyes to Your cross.
Grant penitent hearts and by your grace forgive all sins. Help
everyone to look beyond Katie's illness to Your throne in Heaven.
Take their hands in Yours that they may receive that peace which You
alone can give. Since the holy Word promises that "in everything God
works for good with those who love Him," teach them confidently to
place themselves into Your gracious care, saying, Not my will but
Yours be done."
Lord, we believe in
miracles and pray that if it be Your will You bring total healing to
little Katie.
In our Savior's name,
Jesus Christ, we pray.

- Dear Lord Jesus,
I come

or a shoulder to cry on. You are all special people who will never
be forgotten for your kindness. Everyone please continue to pray for

yourselves as well as Katie. A special thanks to my mom and dad for
taking care of Tyler, he couldn't be in a better place (except with

- Reading your "reports" from the last few days has been very
uplifting for me, so I can only imagine how excited you are. Katie
is doing some miraculous things and I love it when anyone proves a
Dr. wrong. Granted, we need Drs. and I beleive that they are guided
by God's hand, but this just shows what the power of prayer and
God's almighty love can do. You hang in there, take care of one
another and know that you are all loved. Love and prayers, Annette

amazed daily, as I read of Kaitlyn's progress. God is so amazing! I

has touched both of you! Your strength and your faith are an
inspiration to all who visit this web site! Jeremy could not have
known what an awesome witnessing tool this site would be...people

You began this journey saying "I can't do this" but look at you now
supporting other families going through difficult times and giving
them strength and words of encouragement to carry on. I'm proud of
you as a mother, friend and sister, you have definitely amazed me in
many ways. I love you with all my heart and hope you continue to
lean on me and look to me for anything. People ask who you look up
to in your life, I can now say it would be my amazing sister. I love
you and Katie, Tyler & Scott. It is so awesome how far Katie has
come and I believe it has been all the prayers and love of her
family especially her mom & dad. Hang in there, keep strong and keep
praying. I'm here for you all. I love you so much. Love Trish

side and think only positive thoughts. You are an angel. And Scott I
am so proud to have such a brave and compassionate brother to stand

I just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and Katie
several times daily. I watched a short video on the Childrens
Hospital Website and 80% of all children there are healed. This is
amazing results. I know Katie is going to make it and someday you
can tell her what a fighter she was in 2005. I see her photos and
they bring both tears of sadness and joy. I want you to know I am
going to come up and see you and Katie, hopefully it will be soon.
Sophia prays everynight for Katie along with so many others in our
community. I can only imagine what you are going through. Continue
to be strong for her and for Tyler. God blessed you with such a
loving and precious family. If you need someone, please don't
hestitate to call. I am thinking about Katie constantly and I know only
God knows her future. Keep strong and if you ever need anything,
please call. Love Sara
Sender: Lisa Trapp
- Sue Hamilton shared your
website with me--I will keep your beautiful daughter in my prayers.
Although it's overwhelming--you will make it through--one day at a
time. You'll find strength you didn't even know you had and you'll
find that their are blessings in every day--even if it's as simple
as a special smile from Katie. God will give you the strength you
need--exactly when you need it. My five year old son Steven spent
three years in his journey with Leukemia and the two biggest things
I learned were to take each day at a time and to look for the
blessings. Things can change so fast so it just doesn't help to
anticipate too far into the future--just make it through the day. My
prayer for you is for strength, moments of rest and to always
maintain hope. God bless your family.

glad to hear Katie had a good nights rest and is reacting to
