Our Burlington trip has been postponed until Monday. For some reason the MRD test results are still not in, and doctors cannot administer the next round of chemo until those results arrive. I did speak with Heidi today, and she gave me a better sense of our treatment options for this next round. Both options are aggressive. We would all prefer the slightly less aggressive of the two aggressive options because it may mean fewer longterm challenges, but that option might not be available. Doctor Bradeen will let us know ASAP, and we'll pass along the information.
The good news is that Katie has had an incredible day. She has played all day long. She danced and sang. She practiced her ABCs. She painted, she colored and she made Playdoh dinosaurs. She ran around the house--she ran! While it would be good to get on with her treatment, I am secretly glad that Katie has had another few days to be a kid.
Rick and the two kids are curled up on the couch watching Harry Potter in action, and I am tempted to join them. It has been a long week. This next week is February vacation--eleven days to be a family. Life is good.

Hi, Kelleys: I am glad that you have a few more days before you have to go back to Burlington. From the sounds of your day, Katie seemed to enjoy it also.
I think about you every day, and even though we have never met, you are in my heart and prayers. Gloria was here today and she said she will introduce us someday.
Love to all, Suzanne(from Sheffield).
