Day 41 (Tuesday 12/20/11)

     Monday night was my night to stay in the hospital with Katie...I wasn't as lucky as Scott.  Katie had a rough night.  She had a low grade fever all night and diarrhea (4 diaper changes).  Her tummy was hurting her all night and her cough is worse.  However, we were released from the hospital last night, about 7:00 p.m.  We were ready to be home. It was a long 3 nights and 3 days!  Katie will be on intravenous antibiotics for 8 more days.  A home health care nurse came over at 10:00 p.m. last night to teach us how to give Katie her medication.  We will give Katie her antibiotics intravenously 3 times a day, for an hour each time (6 a.m., 2 & 10 p.m.)  Katie will go to the clinic again on Thursday for her spinal tap chemo treatment.  She is also on a daily dose of chemo, in the form of a pill that we crush and give to her nightly.  I will write more tonight, I just wanted to catch up on yesterday.
