Katie slept well last night with only a few nurse visits to wake her up. She is having a low key morning so far and is cheerful and happy, but tired and not very hungry. All she has eaten so far this morning are a few saltine crackers. She had a lot of visitors yesterday and missed her normal nap time. We are hoping that is why she is tired today, but we are waiting anxiously for her latest lab results.
In addition, another side-effect of the chemotherapy is becoming apparent. One of the drugs has a constipating effect, and we are now on day three without any bowel movements. Oddly enough, we are hoping for one of those today and a laxative is being mixed into some of her food and drink to help get things moving.

But i will be checking in everyday to see how your little girl is doing. Ricky i must say she looks just like you!! The pictures made me smile they looked just like you when you were a kid!! Well make sure you guys get some rest and take care and know we ALL are thinking of you. Wish you all the very best.

Hi Katie,
I heard you were a little more tired today. I'm not surprised after all those laps around the floor in the wagon with Kyler and Eric! I hope you got some rest today and got to watch some Dora!
Kyler has been bugging me all day to come see you. He wants to take care of his cousin, that's for sure. You know, making sure you have enough popcorn and fruit snacks... hahaha.
I talked to Uncle Ryan again tonight- they let him have a 10 min call. He sends big mustache kisses! See you tomorrow.
Love You, Auntie Heather
