Just Another Day

This day was rather quiet and uneventful. Amy and Josh headed off to Barre to watch the Lake Region Boys play some basketball while Katie and I headed to Newport. Katie received her third and final shot for the week at Newport Pediatrics this afternoon, and we visited grandma and grandpa Kelley for a bit before coming home. We then took a nap - yes both of us. After nap time, we had dinner, fed the horses and settled in for a little Dora before bed.

Katie was full of energy again today and in a very good mood. Even the shot didn't dampen her spirits for too long and she was smiling again before we had even reached the car to leave. She lost some weight too. The doctor's scale reported that she now weighs in at 27.5 pounds. She is losing some of that steroid induced weight she put on during that first month of treatment.

All in all, things are still looking pretty good for Katie and the rest of the family right now. We are looking forward to not having to go to a doctor's office or hospital for the next three days, and we are hoping to get out and play in some of this new snow.
