Still Doing Pretty Well

Sorry, we skipped yesterday. Grandpa Jerry came home from his winter get-away in Florida and we visited with him until the only thing on our minds was the thought of crawling into bed and going to sleep. We simply forgot to blog.

However, Katie is still doing pretty well. Her mornings are getting a little rougher and nausea is never very far away, but her afternoons have been full of fun. She is enjoying the warm, sunny weather and getting out to play in her swing and on her trampoline. Granted, she is not jumping around, but she likes sitting and bouncing and that has to count for more exercise than sitting on the couch so we're happy.

No word on the bone marrow test results yet. I'm assuming that no news is good news, but I'm still going to call Fletcher Allen tomorrow just to make sure. Amy thought Katie was looking a little pale tonight and that we might be getting close to needing a transfusion again, but I don't think so because Katie had so much energy. She wasn't sluggish or logy tonight like she often is when she needs blood. I think we will be fine until the end of the week at least and we get her blood tested Sunday anyway just to be sure.

Katie got to bed a little earlier tonight, so I'm hoping that she will have a better start to her day tomorrow. It might be time to try starting the day with a little juice again too just in case her blood sugar is bottoming out in the mornings.
