Katie had her last infusion of chemotherapy Friday. She is still taking chemotherapy drugs in pill form for another 16 days, but she will not have to go back to Fletcher Allen for any more chemo through her port. She is feeling good and her blood counts are up. With any luck, she will finish out these next 16 days strong.
Back on the farm, we added another calf, 36 more chickens and 3 turkeys. Katie's favorite farm critters right now are the chicks. She really loves them when they are young, cute, and fuzzy.
Katie's cousin Eric organized a fund raiser for Katie and our Relay for Life team. He and his soccer team raised $300 for the Relay for Life in Katie's name. At a soccer game today near Katie's home town, the whole team wore pink arm bands to signify their support for our fight against cancer and they gave Katie a giant check for $300, one pink rose from each person on the team, and a soccer ball signed by every person on the team. It was a heart warming event and we are very happy and thankful to the team and the parents who support them. We are especially proud of Eric's efforts to organize this fund raiser and make his little cousin Katie feel so very special. Thank you.
