Poop At Last!

Katie finally had some success in the poop department this morning, but not before suffering one final consequence of not going for so long. She tried to eat breakfast this morning and ended up vomiting because there just wasn't any more room left in her body for the new food. Now she feels better and we expect more results as the day goes on. This, of course, means that she gets to have her next dose of chemotherapy. So we can expect that today as well. In addition, she will be getting a red blood transfusion this morning and she could be due for a platelet transfusion tomorrow. The doctors don't believe that her numbers have hit rock bottom yet, but she should bottom out in the next day or two. School starts Tuesday. At this rate and if we are lucky, we will bring Katie home Monday night - just in time to get up and go to work Tuesday morning. This is not how I envisioned the last week of summer vacation. Amy and I have a long list of "just before school" projects that are not going to get done which is going to get everything off to a bumpy start.
