Day 107

     After Katie's blood tests yesterday, the doctor came back in and said, "Are we even giving her chemo!?  Her numbers are perfect.  I can't believe she is doing so well!"  Today we are glad for the power of prayer!  There is no other explanation for how well Katie has done. 
     Katie and I spent 5 hours at the clinic.  She complained of her tummy hurting during treatment and later at home - but that didn't stop her, she still wanted to play!  Last night she woke up several times during the night with tummy aches and bad dreams.  Conner also had bad dreams last night - I am not sure if he ever actually woke up, but I woke up!  I also had bad dreams last night.  Scott had to wake me up at one point, because I was crying out.  So...not the best nights sleep for any of us.  Although, Katie seems to be feeling okay this morning - my guess is she won't eat breakfast - but at least she isn't crying.
     "The simple secret is this: put your trust in the Lord, do your best, then leave the rest to Him."  (Joseph B. Wirthilin, Ensign, November 2008, 28).
