Vaillancourt Family

On November 4th Kim went in for a MRI that revealed two additional spots. After speaking with the doctor and her family Kim decided that she no longer wanted to continue treatments. She has enjoyed the last two months with family and friends, rest, holidays and no doctors appointments. Last week Kim’s headaches became a little more intense, her tolerance for noise became more extreme, she noticed swelling to the side of her face and changes in her vision that were also causing her a lot of pain. Her doctor had her go for a MRI on Saturday and called Monday with results. The MRI showed that the spots have grown rapidly larger, and that she might start to notice additional deficits with where the tumors are growing. The doctor also addressed Kim’s timeline which doesn’t leave her much time left with us. Kim’s spirts are still good. She is sad to leave her family on earth but knows that God’s plan is bigger than anything we can see. She is at peace with going home to her eternal father. In light of Covid, we are setting up a little bit of a different style meal train for Kim and her family. If anything, we are asking for gift cards from restaurants, Grub Hub, Door Dash, Wegmans, etc.. Some of their favorite restaurants are Carrabba’s, Chipotle, Rachel’s, McDonald’s, Subway, Red Robin, Red Pepper and Fat Mans. Kim’s Go Fund me is also still active and will be posted below. I know during times like these people always want to know what they can do to help. Now, as always, the biggest ask is for prayers. Prayers for Kim and her family would be wonderful. Please include them below if you would like to share. Also any pictures that you have with Kim would be wonderful for everyone to see. As you can imagine this is heartbreaking news that we are sharing. Please respect the family as we spend as much time as we can with Kim. Please direct any questions about the Go Fund me or Covid style meal train to Jenna ([email redacted]). I just want to tell everyone from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU so much for all the support you have shown our family over the last five years. We may not say it often, but we feel it with everything we do. You have helped to keep us very strong. Now let’s lift up those prayers for Kim! Kim we pray as you transition to be with your Heavenly Father that you remain with as little pain as possible. We pray that you feel how much you are so very loved. We pray that Phil and the kids are able to find comfort and spend wonderful quality time with you! We love you! ❤️❤️ #staykimstrong
