Kendall is doing great and enjoying her summer. She continues to get stronger and amazes us everyday with her courage and love for life. Keep Believing!

Thanks again for all of the love, support and prayers. God Bless Team Kendall!

So damn easy to say that life’s so hard

Everybody’s got their share of battle scars

As for me, I’d like to thank my lucky stars

That I’m alive and well

It’d be easy to add up all the pain

And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames

Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain

But not me, I’m alive.       (Kenny Chesney)

We met again with our Dr’s from Duke last week. Kendall had a pulmonary function test and we discussed our options moving forward. Because her lungs have been operated on, she is experiencing some shortness of breath. Our Dr has encouraged her to get her lungs in shape and working to their full potential. Depending on our next scans later this summer, we will then make her treatment decisions. Surgery again or begin some type of chemo/biological treatment. Until then, its time for her to be a teenager and enjoy the summer (Dr’s orders). Thank you all for the continued love and support. We really appreciate all the help and prayers. God Bless, Love Team Kendall.

Its has been a while since we had any appointments with our physicians. On Thursday we had our scans at Duke, and they have confirmed two small nodules in Kendalls right lung. Although this is not what we had prayed for, we will meet with our team of physicians and do whats best to remove/eradicate these. There still is a chance we will start some type of medicine and monitor these spots to evaluate how well it is working. Our surgeon has informed us they are too small to remove surgically at this point. Although this is not the plan we had, we will adjust our sails, and get after it!  Hang in there Kendall, you can do it!

Love you sweetie~ Mom, Dad, Connor and All of Team Kendall!

Just wanted to say thanks to the students at Virginia Tech. They continue to set the bar for excellence in fund raising for Relay for Life. Kendall was asked to give a speech during the opening ceremonies on Friday, April 20th. These students did an excellent job in planning a great relay for this year. They ended up raising $564,391. Wow! Unbelievable! Virginia Tech continues to rally for great causes and it was an honor for Kendall to be part of this incredible event. One step closer to finding a cure. Great job Hokies! Here is the link for Kendall’s speech. God Bless, Love Team Kendall.

Just wanted to let our team Kendall supporters know how things are progressing. Kendall is getting back a lot of her strength and energy and continues to stay positive. Medically speaking, nothing is new. We will continue to have scans quarterly. We have been blessed by so many people helping us and giving us support.  Abby Bagliani from Wake Forest University asked if Kendall would like to be a team leader and speaker for their annual Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund Drive, she was all in! This is their 12 hour dance consisting of students who plan, participate and raise funds for cancer research.  Kendall was one of the 6 team leaders that were asked to share their story. It’s amazing to see the energy when all of these kids get involved and help others. Please visit their website at wakenshake.com. We also met a young man battling cancer, 17 yr. old Josh Rominger who is amazing to say the least. Please add him to your prayer list as well. Hang in there Josh, you are a warrior.  Thanks again to Abby Bagliani, Karli Thode, and all of the wonderful students at WFU for an awesome event. Together, we will beat cancer! God Bless, and thanks so much for keeping Team Kendall strong and believing! Peace, JB

A year ago today, Kendall was hospitalized with ACC. She has been amazing and has inspired us all with her courage and determination to be cancer free. She is recovering well from her last procedure. We want all of Team Kendall to know how much we appreciate your support. We are continually amazed by everyone. You have made a huge difference in Kendall’s journey. We are very blessed by all of you. Special thanks to an incredible man, a friend, and a saint on earth, Dr Bill Fintel. God Bless you all, The Bayne’s
