Katie is doing great! As always, when things are going well, the blog takes a back seat, but rest assured, things are going very well. Day care continues to help Katie get back to being a normal 3 year old kid. Every day, I can see her changing a little more and gaining back some of what she lost over the past 7 months.
Josh is acclimating to life in first grade. Behavior expectations are a little more strict than they were in kindergarten and he has gotten in trouble a couple of times this week for being unable to control his urge to talk to anyone and everyone around him. It's going to be a sharp learning curve.
Amy and I are still feeling pretty well overwhelmed and are just trying to stay on top of things. It has been extremely difficult to jump back in and start school up again this year, but we are managing. I keep waiting for things to get a little easier, and they have in the last week or so. But I sure could use a bit more of a break.
Katie went to North Country Hospital again this evening for a finger pick blood test to determine how well she is handling the new doses of medications. We won't get the results for a day or two, but there was good and bad news that came out of the finger pick process itself. She had to have two fingers picked because the first one clotted up and couldn't be used. Her blood hasn't clotted that quickly since she first got sick. That was the good news. The bad news of course was that she then had to be stuck again to get more blood. I don't think she considered any part of it to be good news.
