Transfusions are the greatest things. Yesterday Katie was lethargic, pale and weak. Today, with new blood running through her veins, she is bouncing around the house again, dancing, singing and zooming around the house on her wheeled horse. She says she is a crazy driver and I'm on her road so look out.
The other news that we got about Katie yesterday was that her ANC is back up to something close to normal again. So, on a beautiful day like the one we just had, I did not feel inclined to stay trapped in the house all day. We went for a drive to Newport where we stopped in to visit Grandpa and Grandma Kelley, did a little shopping at the Pick & Shovel (Katie's favorite store in the Kingdom), and spent some time poking around the Newport library. The library has a small display case filled with stuffed and mounted animals. Along with water fowl, birds of prey, and various small mammals, the display includes a ten foot long American alligator from Florida. The alligator quickly became the only part of our trip to the library that Katie remembers.
Now that we are back home, we are looking forward to a fun filled evening of coloring, puzzles, towers, and of course, Dora. As I write, Katie and Josh are running around the house playing cops and robbers (a polite term for crazy, noisy, children with toy guns).

Hi, Kelleys: My computer has been out of service since Sunday, so I was glad to finally get back in touch with you and katie. Glad things are going well. Hope she received my last package(the Dora backpack and goodies). I do want to make dinner for you--I'll get Gloria to find out when is a good time.
Enjoy your weekend together, and it touches my heart to think of katie racing around your house!
Suzanne.
