If you read a typo or two it is because I'm typing one-handed. Kateli is resting & won't let go of my other hand. She seems to be feeling really well, but is getting a bit restless here at resort St. Francis. We've exhausted the list of foods she will eat from the menu, and are getting a little bored with looking out the window at cars. It's much more exciting overlooking the helicopter pad, but that's on the other side.
Kateli's ANC count is at ZERO, so she is extremely susceptible to everything. The Dr.s are obviously reluctant to let us leave with her in this condition. The good news is that she hasn't had any fevers since the morning we arrived, and nothing has shown up in any of the cultures. The platelets and transfusion went well on Tuesday- she seems to have a lot of energy and strength overall.
If Kateli continues to feel well, they may send us home with IV antibiotics and let us care for her at the house. It may be a little bit more work for us, but it would let us all be in the same place and away from the sick folks at the hospital (overall much better).
Go U.S.A (we've had lots of time to watch the olympic games- no complaints there)
Thanks for your prayers and support.

Dan and Marleny,
The photo of Katherine and her daddy is amazing. I am praying that Katherine's counts will rise dramatically and that God will give you His strength to administer the antibiotics she needs to protect her at this time. Love and Prayers, Mom, Sue, Grandma, Grandma
Hi Marshes! Love the new picture of Dan and Kateli. I love her big smile (and Dan's)...it shows what a happy girl she is! The new blog format is also great....the gerbera daisies remind me of you Marleny! We are praying that her counts would increase quickly and that she would be able to go home! Much love,
The Lehmans
