We are home!

It's 11:45pm here, and we've been home with Kateli for about an hour and half or so. We didn't put her to bed right away, as she was so excited to be home from the hospital that she was checking everything out; all her toys, the dog, her room etc etc. It was so great to see that beautiful smile on her face as we walked in the door and she saw Renny!! Renny was excited to see her as well! Brother was already asleep, so she won't see him until tomorrow but other than that she checked everything else out in the house. And now she is in bed--not quite asleep yet, but she's peacefully stayed in her bed. We had a real hard time deciding where she would sleep tonight. Part of us wanted her to sleep with us--something about having her close. The other part of us was okay with letting her sleep in her own room--getting back to normalcy at home...and that part won!

Kateli got her injection today, as was scheduled and she took it very well. She was strong, and didn't cry too much. They even gave her a toy, the nurses were so proud of her! Her body tolerated the medication, as she had no allergic reactions to it--praise the Lord!

We were at the hospital late tonight, because Katherine did end up getting the blood transfusion. What an answer to prayer though! God allowed for Katherine's hemoglobin to increase the last couple of days so that the doctor didn't push for the transfusion. In the meantime, a friend of ours donated blood for her, and we were hoping it would be ready in time for when kateli needed the transfusion. The blood was processed and ready today; Kateli's hemoglobin was low again on her chemistry's this morning. God's timing is perfect! Praise the Lord.

I will write more tomorrow. Too tired now. Thank you for all of your prayers while we were in the hospital. Please continue to pray for us, as we are by no means done with this journey, we are just beginning!
