Kentucky Children’s Hospital Radiothon 2008
WE NEED YOU! As many of you know our family has literally been to hell and back in the past two years and we are still there. I apologize to our clients that we have been MIA for the past two weeks but we have been back in Cincy dealing with new Kyleigh issues. This week Kyleigh was dealt possibly our hardest blow yet. Ky has been fighting a chronic UTI (or what we thought was a UTI) for 5 weeks now. 4 different infections have ravaged her body for well over a month. 3 different antibiotics have done nothing for her. Yesterday we were told that over the course of her two years her kidneys have sustained significant damage. Her right kidney is functioning at 30% or less and her left at 70%. Today, I woke up knowing that yet another part of my daughter’s body is failing her. The biggest issue with Ky’s kidneys is that she is a HEART baby. How does that matter? As her kidneys loose more function her heart will start to feel the stress. Her heart is not normal… it is “repaired”. We are left now to try our best and PRAY… and watch our doctors who we love so much as they shake there heads “no” that there is not a lot we can do.
TODAY I am begging you. WE just spent the week in Cincinnati because we do not have a Pediatric Urologist here in Kentucky. We are forced to leave our home, our boys, our hospital that we call home to go find treatment for Ky. This is my plea to you… CALL and donate to the Kentucky Children’s Hospital Radiothon!!!! Even if you cannot donate… forward this blog posting to your friends, family, send text message, send it out to anyone on your contact list, post it to your OWN blog!!! Social networking sites… anything! Just do a little something today and know that a family very close to you will be eternally grateful to you!!!!
My incentive to you, my clients, is that I will offer EACH of you a FREE 8×10 for EVERY $50 that you donate to the hospital!!!! You send me an email and I send you an 8×10 of your choice from ANY session we have ever shot, any wedding, any senior, any family, baby, anything!
Tonight Kyleigh will host the Rush Hour Power Hour. I would love for HER hour to be the biggest yet for the Radiothon. Here are the details! Please listen for our live on Air interview tonight between 5 and 6 pm!!

Everyone asks WHAT can we do to help Kyleigh and your family? THIS is what you can do. This week we spent the week in Cincinnati. We had to take the boys to the grandparents houses and yes they love going but that is not our choice. We have no choice for several of Ky’s conditions but to pack up and leaved our beloved Kentucky Children’s Hospital to find the treatment she needs. Kentucky Children’s Hospital is HOME to us. We have made many friends there and we truly feel blessed to call it our home hospital.
I encourage each of you to make a donation. If its $10 just once that is $10 they did not have before!!! Donate in Kyleigh’s name, in YOUR child’s name, in the name of any child who is special to you but just make a donation!!
Our family also had a telethon montage made and as soon as I can get my hands on the mp3 we will be posting it here! Wish us luck as today is SURE to be a very emotional day especially with the events of the week.
