We definitely do not update the blog as often as we should any more, but here is the latest. In our last post, I mentioned that Katie had some fluid in her lungs. Well, it turned into pneumonia. The ear infection she originally had cleared up right away but she did have to go back on a different antibiotic to fight off the pneumonia.
The strange thing about this case of pneumonia was that we couldn't even tell that she had pneumonia other than from the sound of fluid in her lungs. Her cough had almost vanished and she was capable of running and playing as if she was in perfect health. Either way, 5-days later, her pneumonia has also cleared up and her follow-up doctor's appointment today revealed no additional problems. She is perfectly healthy again.
Later this week, she has an appointment for a lumbar puncture and chemotherapy at Fletcher Allen. I don't expect any surprises from that visit, but any day involving an LP is going to be a long day and she isn't going to like it.
