Every day Katie will comment, "no more medicine, no more pokes." Throughout this phase, she has been getting a crushed up chemo pill first thing in the morning, and chemo shots just before bed at night. We are all so relieved that part is over with! Katie is still getting one pill a day, but I can sneak that pill into her drink. I am glad to be able to tell her there will be no more "pokes" at home.
Katie is big into "why" right now. Why?...Why?...Why?...about everything! After this goes on for a minute or two, I give up trying to explain things any further and revert to, "I don't know why." Only for her to say, "Why?" It's funny.
"...Let us run with patience the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1).
Ha! Ha! Reminds of when I was a kid and I would ask "why". The answer was "because I said so!" Always hated that answer, but with a child who always asks "why" I have used that answer many times! I am just glad she feels strong enough to ask "why". What a remarkable little girl you have. I cannot believe she has handled this phase as well as she has. You and Scott have been remarkable! Doing everything that needed to be done to cushion this phase. I am so glad that she has some sort of "break" from all the medicines and pokes. Pray for you daily.
