It is 3:15pm and Amy and Katie are still in Burlington waiting for blood test results to come back. They think that Katie is going to get an unexpected transfusion this afternoon. The last transfusion that she got took 3 hours. If this one takes as long that will leave Amy and Katie in Burlington with freezing rain and terrible road conditions on the way. If that is the case, I will try to talk Amy into just spending the night at her parents house in South Burlington and coming home tomorrow.
As for Katie's medical update, her early cytogenetic tests are back and we were told that she doesn't fit into any of the 5, poor prognosis categories, but that she doesn't quite fit into the 2, good prognosis categories either. Once again, she is going to do things her way. The doctors said that most kids are not so easily categorized this early on, and that this news is not bad news. Just the opposite, they were pleased that they could rule out the worst possible prognosis.
That's all the information that I have for now. I will post an update again later when I have more information.
