Kylie
continued from the front page
from the Heart founder
Ann Mosely. "And that's
what she got."
Mosely started the organ
ization in 2006, which
remodels rooms for critical
ly ill children.
Kylie was so thrilled with
her new room she almost
forgot how hard it’s been
over the last few months.
In October Kylie was
diagnosed with Ewings
Sarcoma, a form of bone
cancer, in her leg. Since
then she has undergone
two rounds of chemothera
py and faces another round
later this month.
Gini Seitz says Kylie has
remained strong through
out the process and the
tumor has shrink by half.
Kylie will have surgery in
March to replace two-
thirds of her femur, includ
ing the ball joint at the
top, with a titanium rod.
Gini Seitz says the technol
ogy is only three years old,
but doctors believe it will
help save Kylie’s life. About
every six months, the rod
will be extended using a
magnetic process, to allow
for growth. Gini says it will
probably last until Kylie is
around 11 years old. Then
she will have to have it
replaced again.
Gini and Dave say their
faith in God has sustained
them through Kylie’s ill
ness.
“We are so thankful to
God that she is doing so
well,” said Gini. “She has a
long way to go, but God
has blessed us in so many
ways. We have received so
much support from friends
and this community. It has
been amazing.”
In an effort to lift Kylie’s
spirits and help the Seitz
family with their added
financial burdens,
Maynard Baptist Church is
planning a huge silent auc
tion, “Up for Kylie” on Feb.
28. The theme is “Look up,
Lift up, Bid up.” The event
will include food, fun and
fellowship sports memora
bilia, services, gift cards,
jewelry and more. The idea
is to look up to the Lord
for guidance and strength,
lift up the family in prayer
and bid up to support
them. For more informa
tion or to donate, call
Heather Chesnut at 478-
992-5596 or Maynard
Baptist Church at 994-
2120.
Gini Seitz says Kylie has
enjoyed her new room and
all the love and prayers
she has received have
made a big difference in
her recovery.
