Katie's health has continued to improve - and we are glad! She still seems to have a runny nose and she sounds a bit congested. So, we have decided to continue to keep her sequestered for awhile - how long I don't know... But every time the doctors have told us she should be fine to go to school, church, vacations, etc... she has gotten sick. We just want to keep her home for a while longer.
I realized the other day, that Katie had been in the hospital 5 times, in just over a years time. That was more than we (or the doctors) had anticipated. We would like to keep it at 5 - no more hospital time! One of the hardest things about all of this is knowing how much she is missing. She misses playing with her friends, going to joy school, and church. I hate her having to miss out on all the fun and social interaction - but it is not worth risking her life over - it is just too bad it has to be this way. But it won't be forever, just for now.
"Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion. We should know the gospel is true and be true to the gospel."
(David A. Bednar, Ensign, November 2012)
