Well......we are back in the hospital. The last few days have been rough for Katie. We called the doctor with our concerns and he said to bring her to the ER. They ran some tests and Katie needs another blood transfusion and fluids. So we are here at least for the night - hopefully not longer, but they are running more tests, so we will see.
I have come to realize that when a child is sick with cancer, everyone in the family suffers in different ways. I have seen the effects of this already...Conner is having nightmares and is constantly saying, "I scared". Nathan is trying to put up a strong front, but it is clear he is hurting. We now have a few less dishes in the house thanks to me (long story) and Scott says he "doesn't know what he is". And Zach (our 19 year old)...we read your comment tonight and it brought us to tears- we are sorry you are so far away, but your love and prayers are not useless! We have all been effected by this. It has been life changing - andwe are only 3 weeks into this!
We are greatful for everyone's continued support and prayers! Today we are glad that my sister was here to pick up the slack. Thank you Nannette for taking the time off of work, and away from your family to come and help ours! (You have done for me what our mother would have done, if she could). I am overcome and so touched by your love and support. Thank you!!!
Without hearing about your hardships we cannot appreciate your good days along with you. You will always have our prayers through the good and the bad. You are a strong woman, never forget that because katie will see that and learn to be just like her amazing mother and father. We love you all!
