Quick Update

Katie has an ear infection and she is not getting a transfusion. Her numbers aren't low enough right now but the doctors expect that she will end up getting one early next week. She still feels horrible though and I could hear her crying and complaining that her "belly hurts" while I was on the phone with Amy.

They are done for the day at Fletcher Allen. Katie has another dose of Cytarabine in her and is headed home shortly, still in pain, still feeling sick. She will also be bringing home another antibiotic to clear up the ear infection.

Hey guys...
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Katie. On the upshot, at least an ear infection seems minor at this time and will hopefully clear up quickly. Certainly scary when changes come so suddenly.
I'm proud of you kiddo...you have more courage than you know.
Love you all.

Amy and Katie-
It was so nice to have a little visit with you at the hospital today. Katie is just a little trooper even though you could see she was feeling so cruddy. I'm glad that she finally got to take a nap at the end and hopefully you had a much more peaceful ride home.
Thinking of you.
Love, Auntie Heather
