since the last blog entry that we posted. I'm sorry. Life just seems so busy these days, I don't know that there are enough hours in a day to get things done that need to get done, much less those things that are on my "want to do" list. Anyhow, enough of excuses...let me just update you.
Well, like they say, no news is good news. And that is what we have on our end. Kateli has been doing GREAT!! It truly amazes me each day to see how well she is doing, how well her body is tolerating the meds, and how upbeat she is about life in general. She is zealous about EVERYTHING around her. She loves her mommy, daddy, and "baby josua" among MANY MANY other people in our life right now. There is not a bit of sadness, discouragement, or disillusionment in her with all that she is enduring at her 29months of age. Tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary since her diagnosis and we are truly blessed by how God has been working in all of us, and continues to do so each day. Over and over He continues to show us His faithfulness and His love for us and for Kateli. Her heart is so full of joy, her face glows with never ending smiles, and her laugh sounds like music to our ears. She loves to giggle, she loves to be silly, and lately her deal is pretend play. I know it's a stage. She is at that age right now, but it is so sweet to watch her pretend to be a mommy...oh, and is it ever so humbling and eye opening. She definitely SEES and HEARS all around her, and she pays such close attention to all that I do. She is like a "mini-me mommy" to her baby!! Good thing, I try to be a good mommy!!
Last Wednesday our appointment at the clinic was to check her blood counts. It was a short appointment and we got home with good news. Her ANC was up at 900, so there was no need in delaying her treatment. This Wednesday we go back again for yet another blood test. She will not get any meds in clinic, but we are continuing the daily chemo at home, among other meds that she takes at home with us. Please pray that her counts continue to stay about 750--even higher is a plus!!
Thank you so much for visiting our blog and staying up to date with our little girl's progress through this journey. We truly appreciate your concern and your continued prayers for her and our family.

Thank you, Marleny, for taking time to update all of us concerning Katherine. She is indeed a joy to all of us and all through each day I am praying for God to heal her body. You are a terrific mommie and I love you.
Mom, Sue, Grandma, Grandma
I'm so glad it's going so well! I just asked Jacquelyn about you guys yesterday. We'll keep praying for Katherine and that you guys can get plenty of rest!
Every night I check your blog, and even though I keep pretty close contact with you it was wonderful to read your blog tonight. There's no doubt you are a fantastic Mom; that shows in Katherine and Joahua's behavior. Give them a kiss for me.
Thank you for the update. Of course Katherine is pretending to be a mommy! She has an amazing mom that she wants to be just like. God Bless!
