We're home, and I need prayer

Well, we made it home from the hospital on Friday afternoon. Kateli was released, and we came home without the antibiotics we thought we'd come home with. The doctor said that everything indicated that her ANC was coming back up and there was no need to do medications at home. The next two weeks are rest time for Kateli from the chemo, and then on the 27th she starts Maintenance (given that her numbers are high enough) Since we've been home, Kateli seems to be doing well. She acts fine and has lots of energy so that's a plus. Thank you all for your prayers for her recovery and her coming home. On another note, I'm going to ask prayer for myself. I must have eaten something on friday night that my body didn't like and is making it CLEAR!! I woke up Saturday morning with hives all over my torso, my legs and my neck. It's horribly painful and itchy. I've been taking Benadryl every 4 to 6 hours and am getting some relief from the itch, but it won't go away!! I'm also bathing in aveeno oatmeal baths twice a day to see if that helps. The first and only other time that I've had this type of reaction was shortly after finding out we were pregnant with Kateli, and since I was pregnant I couldn't take ANYTHING for it. This time it's different, I know that I'm not pregnant so I'm taking medicine to make it stop, but it won't subside. Please pray for me, that this would go away FAST as I cannot stand to be touched right now...so I can't hold the kids too much and I spend a lot of time in bed due to the benadryl knocking me out. Dan has been great, he's taken on watching the kids and taking care of me without complaining....what a great hubby! I'd post a pic of my torso, but it's just not appealing at all, it's HORRID! This afternoon I gave in and took a trip to the Urgent Care clinic where I was given a steroids shot that will supposedly help with this condition. Please pray that it works!!!!

In the meantime, I leave you with a couple of pics of the kids this weekend.
