We are cruising right along with treatment, and only have 1 medicine remaining this week to complete the DI phase of treatment. As of Friday, Kateli's blood counts were a bit low- bordering on requiring a transfusion. We are watching her energy level and praying that we don't have to do a transfusion. We have another blood count check scheduled for Wednesday, which should also be the last day of meds for about 2 weeks. Then we hope to begin Maintenance!!!!
Kateli has done amazingly well with the 2 drugs that cause most of the side effects during this phase- so that is an answer to many prayers. She is laughing, playing, and taking care of her little brother like usual.
An update on the Marathon training- We all went for a little 11 mile jog this morning. The weather was quite a bit cooler than the past couple of weeks, so the kids didn't fuss at all. Either that, or I had my headphones turned up higher this week. ;) Marleny and I only fussed a little bit.
Thanks for your prayers and support!

So good to hear the wonderful news; both about Katherine and the run. We'll pray Katherine's counts go up and there is not a need for a tranfusion.
Great to hear that Katherine is doing great with this phase and that soon she will move into the maintenance phase. We are praying that she continues doing well and that she will not need the transfusion.
Great job on you little 11 mile jog! Glad to hear the kids did well! Keep up the good work!
