OK, so we met with the Doctor for about 3 hours today and we now have a plan. Kristoffer will have to receive about 31 weeks of chemotherapy. About halfway through he should be able to have surgery to remove his kidney and tumor. During this meeting we had to go through all of the drugs and their side effects. Talk about heartbreaking. My chest just aches at the thought of having to watch my baby go through this. He will not be able to go to school or church while his immune system is down. That will be so hard on him because he loves school and church. I hope this time goes by really fast and his suffering is minimal.
Braces off!

Im so glad that you got to talk to the doctor and figure out a plan. I am so sorry though that he will have to go through such a hard thing and that you as a parent will have to witness it, I pray with all my heart that he experiences very minimal side effects and that he won't have to feel a lot of pain.
I am so sorry that you all are having to go through this hellish experience. It may be small consolation, but the school district can provide tutors that come to the hospital or home in these situations, so that Kristoffer does not have to lose everything. It's in the law. Please take care of yourselves, as well as that precious boy. This will be a marathon, not a sprint. I am sorry that you are suffering so much. All my love.
I know you have been hearing it over and over but my prayers are with you as parents and for little Kristopher. Hang in there!
We love you guys!
Poor Kristoffer! I'm glad that you were able to meet with the Doctors and come up with a plan of attack though! We praying for him and your family!
We are really glad they were able to come up with a plan. You know how brave kids are and it seems your little guy is in good spirits. We will pray that the 31 weeks goes by quickly and with minimal side effects. Just think by Christmas this will hipefully all be over and you can just enjoy your family. I know you have a ton of support but if you need anything we are here.
I know your heart is breaking and it is hard to watch your little guy go through this, but remember in the end he will be better. Keep the end result in mind.
You should talk to my sister. She was going through this very thing 10 years ago. Same feelings. Same treatment. Surgery. She probably could be of some support. Besides she likes you.
Our continued prayers are with you, Kristoffer and your family. Love You!
When a teenage kid in our ward went thru the "can't go anywhere" phase, everyone in the ward lent him books, movies, video games and such to help him be able to do something while he couldn't be in public. Maybe that's an idea. Coloring books, paints, blocks, marbles..something like that.
We are hoping for the best!
We are glad that you finally got a plan! We will continue to pray for that sweet little guy! We know it will be ok! He is a tough little guy! Hang in there Audrie..you are in our prayers & thoughts!
Praying for you.
I’m glad there is a plan of action now. I can’t even try to imagine being in your shoes but you guys are strong and Kristoffer is defiantly a fighter. Like the rest said I too pray that his suffering is minimal and that the time will pass VERY quickly. We love and miss you guys!
Ohhh!!! My heart breaks for you all but We continue to pray of you. Haylee says in her prayers Thank you that Kristoffer can get better. What a positive thinker. Like Aunt Melanie said keep the good end results in mind. LOVE YOU ALL!!
Connie just called me to tell me that they started the first chemo. It is hard to believe that something that can make someone so ill is actually medicine. I can't imagine your whole family's suffering right now.
Last weekend, we went to NH, and I sent you all cool refreshing snow to play in, sled in, the smell of balsams and woodsmoke in my thoughts. That is all so far away from your experience now.
Love, J
