Then, now & in-between

So, I've been cleaning up my picture files and came across some really cute shots of Kateli before she was diagnosed. It's been nearly 7 1/2 months since the diagnosis and we've come a long way. She's grown so much, both physically, emotionally and in strength and persevarance.

Here is our little girl about 7 1/2 months ago...

Here she is now...

and this was in between.... A lot has changed...but you know what remains constant?? Her beauty, inside and out, and her happy heart no matter what!!!

Maintenance

Katherine's counts were still a bit low on Wednesday, but high enough for us to proceed with treatment. So, we have made it to the MAINTENANCE phase of treatment! It has gone by very quickly up to this point-it is hard to believe it has already been 7 Months since diagnosis. Praise God for his abundant provision of strength, healing, and peace.

We will continue the same course of treatment from now until April 30th, 2010.
Treatment consists of:

• Oral Chemo # 1- Daily
• Oral Chemo #2 -Weekly
• Oral Steroid- 5 days per month
• IV Chemo- Every 4 weeks
• Spinal Tap Chemo- Every 12 weeks
  

Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement and support. We are blessed by you all.

This week the kids are a bit under the weather with colds and mild temperatures. Please continue to pray for our health during this time of changing seasons.
