Katie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia on November 8, 2011.

Day 4 (11/13/11)
Today was a long day...Katie got 2 chemo shots in both legs simultaneously (while her dad and nurses held her down). Hard things. She is refusing to take any of her oral medications - she spits it in our eyes - it is an ongoing struggle...we have tried everything from chocolate syrup to bribery, nothing has worked. Other than that, she is still "Katie", cheerful and sweet. Today we are glad for cousins (Greg & Sarah) who brought a Barrel of Monkeys and gave us a fun idea...we got lots of laughs out of it. Please remember to pray for Katie!

It is so comforting to see Katie with a smile. Although it's a long road ahead, I know she is surrounded by angels and you and your family will be blessed. Praying for you everyday.
ReplyDeleteI think of your family often, and I'm so glad to be able to see how your sweet little girl is doing - even when I'm so far away. I'm praying for each of you every day.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting from Jen's blog. What a wonderful site she has set up for you!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for your daughter. We have a nephew who is a survivor of acute lymphocytic leukemia, and he has done well for 20 years now. I thought it might be comforting to hear of such a good outcome.
Your little Katie is clearly well-loved. May the next two years bring a brightness of hope and that gift of peace which passeth all understanding.
So pleasantly surprised that you were all doing so well when I came to see you last night. Very strong and positive and EVEN funny... oh wait.. the 'funny' was me and Krista. ;) Your emotional, mental and spiritual awareness are all focused and strong. I think you will be amazed with how your attitudes in these areas will strengthen others and their testimonies of faith, love, and courage and how Heavenly Father is not further than a step away.
ReplyDeleteSuch hard things, but so grateful you're keeping us in the loop. We'll be praying, and praying for Katie & you.
ReplyDeleteI came over from Jen Denton's blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little angel you have there - look at her smile.
Just wanted you to know you have prayers coming at her and your family all the way from Idaho!
