We've only been home a little over 24hrs, but it's back to the hospital tonight. Kateli was doing and feeling great this morning. She woke up happy, played, we even went in the backyard to enjoy the warm weather, and play on the swing. She played with chalk on the back patio, and played with Renny. After waking up from nap, though I got a different little girl than I put down. She must not have been feeling all that great after she woke up from naptime. She was quiet and wanted me to hold her a lot. She didn't feel real warm, so I thought it was just her coming out of a nap. About 4 o'clock, she felt a little warm to the touch. She was at 100.3. I called the clinic to see how we should proceed. The doctor said to watch her for a little bit and see if the temp didn't come down on it's own. She asked me to call back if Kateli's temp went up above 101.5. So, we waited. The temp didn't come down, in fact it was 102 when I took it about 5:30 after daddy got home. Quickly called the doctor to get further instruction. The doctor debated whether or not to have us come into the hospital. After all, Kateli had just been released yesterday. Her numbers were great, so she's not neutropenic. All of the cultures that were done on her blood came back negative. However, because of the lumbar puncture that she had yesterday morning, the doctor had us come in just to observe her through the night. She thought it best to err on the side of caution, since the procedure had been real recent. So, off they went. Dan took Kateli to the hospital and will be with her overnight, while I stay home with Joshua.
- Please pray that they figure out what her little body is trying to fight off.
- Please pray that her number stay high, so that her body has what it needs to fight off whatever this is.
- Please pray that the fevers break soon.
- Please pray for rest for her tonight.
- Please pray that she will drink better, to stay hydrated and keep the temps at bay.

Wow, what a surprise when I opened your blog. I've sent a copy out to our prayer warriors. Can't imagine how tired you guys must be; with two stays in the hospital in less than a week and the new treatment yesterday. We will be praying for strength for all of you as well as your requested prayers.
