The antibiotic is definitely working! Katie's spots are almost gone. So, that part is great! However, Katie has really had a hard time with her treatments this time. Katie basically stayed in bed for most of the day yesterday. When she woke up in the morning she didn't want to get out of bed. When she did get out of bed she said, "Mommy, I can't walk very well. Why?" Then later on she told me her legs weren't "working very well" and her legs were "tired." All day she kept saying she was "so tired." She took two naps yesterday. I was so worried about her that I called the clinic in the afternoon. The nurse said just to watch her. Katie got a little more energy last night and played for a little bit outside. At bedtime and this morning, she complained of a tummy ache.
Katie seems a little better today - although all she has done so far is lay on the couch - she doesn't want to go play with Conner. We will see how the rest of the day goes. Her color is good, and we are glad for that. She has started "picking" again (thanks to the steroids) - she picks her lips and fingers and bites her nails. Katie is still asking every morning if today is the day she gets to play with her friends. Hopefully soon!!
“My message to you today, my brothers and sisters, is simply this: the Lord is in control. He knows the end from the beginning. He has given us adequate instruction that, if followed, will see us safely through any crisis. His purposes will be fulfilled, and someday we will understand the eternal reasons for all of these events. Therefore, today we must be careful to not overreact, nor should we be caught up in extreme preparations; but what we must do is keep the commandments of God and never lose hope!”
