The blood tests are done, and Katie is Neutropenic! That's good and bad. It means the chemo has done what it was supposed to and killed off her white blood cells. It also means that she now has absolutely no immune system. The doors to the house are now closed to all visitors for the time being.
Her red blood cells are also incredibly low right now. Amy tells me that Katie doesn't even want to sit up. She lies down everywhere and wants to be held. She is getting a transfusion right now and that should work wonders.
I'll post more information when I get it.

Hi all,
Know that my thoughts are still with all of you. Keeping Katie safe is the most important thing right now. I am glad to hear the chemo is working. I hope her transfusion allows her to feel better. She sure sounds like a fighter.
