We had a really good Thanksgiving Day, yesterday. Katherine's smile returned as she got to spend the day with her cousins here in the hospital. She was so excited that her cousins were coming to see her. She got to spend a couple of hours off of her IV- so she rode around in the wagon with her brother and cousins.
Some volunteers put together a catered Thanksgiving lunch for all of the families that were here in the hospital on turkey day. It was a great blessing to cared for by families who chose to be here serving on their day of Thanksgiving...
By the end of the day Katherine was a little bit worn out from all of the fun and excitement- so she called it an early evening.
We're not sure when we'll be heading home- waiting for fevers to subside and for her counts to come back up to normal levels. I think it should be pretty soon, since her brother has been fever free for a day now- and they both seemed to have caught this bug around the same time.
Thanks for the prayers and support. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

What a blessing family is; so glad yours was able to be with you and that the cousins were able to play. Those volunteers were also a blessing; glad to hear you had a good meal. I know you all well enough to know you also touched the lives of all who were around you on Thanksgiving.
Sorry though to hear you are still at the "big pink resort". Praying your next blog will be telling us you are at home.
Sweet, sweet family,
Your witness to me and to the world brings glory to God. Yes, His light is shining through you and may He give you strength and courage to do the next thing. I am so thankful that Katherine is on her way home and pray that her third Birthday will be filled with good health and laughter and fun with cousins to share her special time. I miss you and love you and continue to pray day and night for God's healing power to be poured into Katherine's body. Love, Mom, Sue, Grandma, Grandma
Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving given the circumstances. You guys are really great at being flexible and positive even when things might not seem to fit your optimum expectations. We are hoping and praying that the fever's soon give katherine's body a break and you all can head home.
