Below is the journal update written by Kate's mom the day results of Kate's PET scan were positive for cancer.
If there were words that could express deep anguish of soul this would be dripping with them. If ever this earth has lost any luster it once held, today would be that day. If ever I longed for heaven so deeply my entire body ached for it, that would be now.
We have thought how to write what today held. There is no emotion that can be expressed adequately through this computer screen. And there is not time nor necessity to describe the detail with which we spoke. Know we will do our best to share what we feel appropriate to share. And the rest will be for us to wrestle through. To agonize and weep over.
We knew what we would be hearing today, and yet it lost no sting knowing beforehand. We knew any options that held a cure would not be present, and yet hearing it with our own ears while our precious daughter played outside seemed to erase years from our lives in that single moment.
We are faced with decisions that no parent should be forced to decide. Know this, we are well informed. Kate's Dr's care for her and want nothing more than to see her grow up healthy. But we are also at an incredibly difficult impass. No option is the obvious "right" option. With the amount and extent of drugs, radiation etc. that Kate has received, anything would be a guess, an attempt to slow growth of a horrific cancer.
Our hearts are broken and at the present feel irreparible. Our faith will not change. Our brokenness does not change the truth of what we believe. But our humanness hurts with everything in us. We know that with a simple word Jesus can wipe this cancer from our daughters brain. We will passionately ask for Him to do so, as long as we have breath.
We do not know the course of action we will take. We have many things to weigh in. If we choose to try and enroll Kate on a phase 1 study it would necessitate a move. I am not going to share all of our options at this time, as we are still processing everything. We have talked with Kate and she knows what she can understand.
In our desire to have people journey this with us, it can obviously open up doors of criticism etc. We are searching out everything, but please be respectful of our decisions as a family. We have talked with various "alternative" places also and we are leaving no stone unturned.
We ask as we journey into the days ahead, that everyone be careful with what words they use in reference to our daughter. She is here, as are her brother and sister. Please do not refer to her as terminal. Essentially, we all are. She is a precious little girl in desperate need of a touch from Jesus.
We are grateful for your prayers for us in the days ahead. We need wisdom and Kate needs healing. Please join us. We are also looking at taking a much needed trip to Hawaii, so our sweet girl can swim with those dolphins.

Dear sweet sweet Jesus, please spare Kate; please heal Kate- through your incredible love and for the glory of your Name. Please Father, in the name of Jesus, order that all cancer cells retreat and be re-missioned to heal and not destroy. Touch Kate even now sweet Jesus and restore her strength. Your Word gives life and hope. Please send Your Word of healing- total healing onto Kate. Father, let your healing virtue flow from her head to the soles of her feet...by the pure blood of Jesus. Amen.

I just want to say that this video, this beautiful little girl & her entire family make my heart swell with pride! Their faith in Jesus warms my heart. Having never gone through a battle as they have, their faith in Jesus & incredible courage are amazing! I pray healing upon your daughter, peace & comfort around each of you & your family. Just remember when you'd rather lay in bed & pull the covers over your head, "We can do ALL things through Christ, who strengthen us"... Phil 4:13. God Bless!

Kate and a little girl named Taylor Love are the reasons I want to become a pediatric oncologist. When I feel like school is taking over my life and making me want to stop, I think of them... If you don't know who Taylor is, please go to facebook(dot)com/lovetaylorlov­e she is such a sweet little girl and she needs prayers more than ever now, she has relapsed with Neuroblastoma and her kidneys are not functioning properly now for the past week :( she is only 5 years old.

Beautiful girl, I'm praying for her. Kate is so sweet, I will never understand why these children are put under such difficult tests. It is so sad, they are she is so young. In my thoughts always :)
