Poor wee Kyah isnt able to hold on much longer. Iv been reading this little girls journey through cancer for awhile now, and its so gut wrenching i cant help but cry.

I really feel for her family as its something i couldnt ever imagine having to do.

i have been following her journey for ages now myself, my heart is breaking for her and her family, it has been such a sad sad thing for them all to go through- words cannot describe it.


reading her last journal entry last night i had a huge lump in my throat and tears flowing, it is amazing how a wee child who i have never personally met and her family can touch the hearts of soooooooo many people around the country (and world)

my hugest love, thoughts etc... for shanelle and jason and the boys and all the family xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Her mother was on another forum I used to go on , I hadn't realised what was happening until a friend from the forum sent me the link a couple of months ago , and now I read it everyday .
Sure puts life in perspective , how much pain must one child go through ? how much pain does a parent have to stand by helplessly and watch their child suffer ?

My thoughts are with the bravest girl Ive ever heard of , her amazing strong parents and her awesome big brothers .

My friend went to her birthday party , she said it was fantastic, but very very bittersweet .

May she come to find peace in the arms of our creator.

Really does make you appreciate what you have in life..

I also have followed this for a wee while, I think about Kyah all the time and check in for updates more than once a day. I even had dreams about her the other night.

It really does make you appreciate your children even more than before reading it. It has also made me research neuroblastoma a bit more also as I really had no idea what it was all about and I have cried many tears reading through other families struggles with it.

The last entry

Day 498 - Wednesday 12th November.
Kyah is just managing to hang on. We got a few hours of sleep last night but it was broken because naturally we were checking on her all the time.
Today has probably been worse. She is non-responsive for the most part and because there is still pain when we move her, Ari increased the syringe driver to 180mg. Her breathing is all over the place and she still has noisy spats.
New veins are appearing on her tummy and there is an area that is bruised as there is no room for the blood to move now.

To combat Kyah's vomiting, her ng tube has been 'set' to drain which means rather than put things down it, it now runs freely into a bag to rid her stomach of any contents. It means that the small amount of fluids she is asking for goes straight back up the tube but she hasn't vomited so it's working in that respect.

The boys and I put up the Christmas tree today to see if she would show any interest and she hasn't even opened her eyes to look at it. I'm holding onto when it gets dark and the lights sparkle :o)

I've decided to make this my last entry while Kyah is still alive. There isn't any benefit to describing the 'barely there' state she is in and to be completely honest, this is the stage that I would rather forget.
We would like to thank everyone who has commented in here over the past few days - the support is phenomenal! Please keep leaving messages as Jason and I will continue to check and unscreen them.

We will update in the next few days but will now concentrate our time hanging out with the coolest almost three year old in the whole wide world.
See you on the other side....

I have just read most of the blog and I have been sitting here in tears. It's not fair! What a beautiful, amazing little girl. I had to go into Sams bedroom and just watch him and touch his little face.

I have just read this bit and nearly lost it. I can't even begin to imagine what they are all going through

We had a bath together tonight and it was both comforting and sad. She just lay on me but was buoyed by the water so felt weightless - extremely important given how heavy she is.
We talked about the Hungry Caterpillar (one of her favourite books) and I asked her what happened to the caterpillar when he had a sore tummy. She said [in very limited language] that he was in a cocoon and turned into a butterfly, so I asked her if she was going to turn into a butterfly and she said no (quite adamantly I might add haha!)
I then explained that Kyah had a sore tummy from all the bad bugs and that her cocoon was her body and it was nearly time for her to break free and turn into a beautiful butterfly. She whispered yes, but I'm certain it was a bit too profound and she just wanted me to stop talking! That analogy might work better with the boys :o)

We had lots of silences and I would just watch her breath while tipping water onto her tummy.
At one point she said "I'm sad.."
"Why are you sad?"
"Just because"
"What is making you sad"
"Me"
"Kyah is making you sad?"
"Yeah"
"Why?"
"Just because"

Devastatingly sad. First time I've seen the blog, and I'm heartbroken for them. Haven't read it all yet, but definately will do.

The strength of her parents to write the blog is phenomenal. Must be so hard to do. An amazing thing to do - a way too look back and remember the journey, even though it's a sad one. A beautiful keepsake for the boys by which to remember all those little gorgeous details about their sister when they're older as well.

I am in awe of this family, of this little girl who has been fighting so long....why does this happen? When there are so many evil people in the world who deserve to die, why the life of an innocent child? I can only imagine God has wonderful things installed for her when she meets him in heaven. I am saturated in tears!. Am really wanting to get through the blog over the next few days.

I have been following this for a while too. The last few days I have thought of nothing else. Everytime I read the journal I end up crying my eyes out and having to go and give Samantha a huge cuddle to remind myself how lucky I am.
My heart goes out to this little girl and her family. I live in absolute fear of this happening to us as my DH's big brother died of cancer when he was only 4.   Having Samantha has given me a whole new appreciation of what my MIL must have lived through and how much strength she has.
I think that the families that get through this must be some of the strongest people on the planet

what really got me was the early entries when they said "oh, she can read this when she is older and know what a scare she gave us"- alerady knowing the outcome.

Because I don't know them, sometimes it was like reading a book - Shanell writes really well - and I was wiating for the happy ending. it is so gut-wrenching to realise there is no happy ending....and too much for me to think about them being real people, and knowing where they live and such...Kyah is less than two months older than Taine

Me too I think about her all day its just so heartbreaking. Shes only a wee bit older than Jack and I think of all the lovely things we have been doing while that poor family have been in hospital. That picture in yesterdays paper was just devastating she looks so beautiful but so sad.

Thanks for the link. I can't stop thinking of Kyah either. I've read most of her 'journey' as I wanted to get through it before she passes away. I well up with tears every time I think of her and her family.

What an amazing little girl. Just think what most of us could accomplish if we even had an ounce of her strength

I'm not even half way through the journal yet. Was awesome to see that she's still holding on. I held my breath when I saw the latest post. But she is definitely doing it her own way. She is so beautiful!!...I think about her and the family constantly as well...even in my dreams. Also try and think of ways to help CCF and RMH...like do a sponsored run or something next year.
It's so amazing what she's had to go through, and omg you should see her and her beads!!!!. Cancer kids have to go through soooooooo much it's not funny!. Definitely thankful for my son's health and appreciate him all that bit more knowing what other mothers are having to go through.

I organise 2 sites in Wellington for the CCF street day appeal every year (usually held in early March).  If anyone would like to donate an hour of their time to collect on Willis Street or in Civic Sq (my sites) or anywhere else for that matter please pm me. 

If you're not in Wellington but would still like to help out during the Street Day Appeal feel free to pm me too as I can get you in touch with the fundraising development manager in your area.

Also check out http://www.childcancer.org.nz/ - http://www.childcancer.org.nz/  for more sad and inspiring stories and to find out other ways you can help CCF (such as shopping at JK, buying an entertainment book through CCF, buying a Kagi bead necklace etc).

Every time I read the blog I just cry and cry

It's just so sad and so heartbreaking.

I can't believe her body is continuing to break down, yet she's still breathing.  What a trooper.  It obviously hasn't got to her heart and she's hanging on to that.  What she could've achieved in her lifetime, if only that disease left her alone.  It's soo heartwrenching!!

Yeh I'm going to donate to the funrazor, and I've also decided I'm gonna do the Molenberg SubSeires 5km run in March....not a great distance but heck for me it is!!..thought It might be abit more achievable for me to do then the half marathon I was initially going to do in May 2009 lol.
So....just made my page up.

So just remember me over the next 4 months ...every dollar does it's bit.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Kyla has finally become an angel

Our beautiful baby girl took her last breath at 11:55am and passed peacefully with Jason and myself right beside her.

She has gone to a place where she can run and play just like any other 'almost three year old' can, where she is surrounded by butterflies and Polly Pockets and where she is no longer in pain.

Thanks for being there with us.
xoxoxox



The pain is finally over

God bless you sweet Kyah, you've touched so many hearts.
You changed my life and I never even met you.
You'll never be forgotten.
