So, it seems this is true; thus the reason why it's been over 2 weeks and we have not updated the blog. Kateli is doing wonderfully. Our appointments have been moved to every two weeks now, rather than weekly. This is a good thing. It's a good break to go a whole two weeks without making a trip into the clinic. Her numbers have been right where they need to be, too, which is answered prayer. Oh, I don't know that I've mentioned this but we learned about 2 weeks ago that Kateli's counts are supposed to stay above 500 BUT below 1500!! I know, it's a tall order in terms of prayer, I mean we have to specifically ask for a range in which her ANC needs to remain. So, if she falls below 500, she's said to be neutropenic and very susceptible to infections. However, if she stays above 1500 for a whole month, then it tells the doctor that her body can tolerate higher doses of chemo, which they would not hesitate in filling. Apparently, if her body can tolerate more chemo, then it's a good thing so that more "meds" are fighting the leukemia. But, we don't necessarily want her to have to take more than she already is, so we just continue to pray that her numbers stay within the stated range. By the way, we have an appointment tomorrow morning to check her blood count. Please pray that 'her numbers are right where they need to be.
I'm going to leave you with a recent picture of my beautiful little girl. I shot this one of her as she and daddy and brother rushed out to go for a run. I got a little bit of down time tonight to try and just rest and recover from my cold. Enjoy!

Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow. We will pray for her counts to be in that range.
