Not much new to report tonight. Katie was feeling pretty good today and she got out of her room to play several times. She rode on wheeled toys. She climbed on things. She through balls everywhere. She played, she smiled and she laughed. But, she didn't poop and that is what we are all waiting for now. It has been since Sunday.
Her next dose of chemotherapy includes a drug that causes constipation so the doctors are still holding off on it, trying not to compound the problem, but it has to be given within the next 24-48 hours. Hopefully her body starts working correctly again before we have to introduce more problems.
Her blood cell counts still seem to be dropping. Her ANC slowed down and she only dropped from 30 to 10 today, but her red blood count is back down to just 7.2 and her platelets are also down. Amy found new petechia on Katie tonight. Nobody has even mentioned a date for returning home. We will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
