Just when we were getting comfortable...

with not seeing the inside of the third floor at the St. Francis Children's Hospital, God says, "not so quick"...

Katherine was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon and she and I had a little slumber party last night in her room. She was acting a bit tired, and felt warm to the touch in the early afternoon. When we took her temp the first time she was about 99.5. While were out running some quick errands, she came up to give a hug and she no longer felt warm, she was now hot. So, we promptly returned home, took her temp and called the dr on call. She was measuring 101.9, so we knew we would be going to see the nurses. Sure enough, the doc called back and said to take her in, he would call the floor so they would expect us. We ate a quick dinner, called some friends to watch Joshua while we got her all checked in, and well...

we're still there. She has not run a temp since yesterday, and her lab results were so encouraging. I was worried that her counts might be lower than on Thursday. On the contrary, thursday she was at 420, and last night she was back up at 1200!! Praise God! So, she is NOT neutropenic, but we have to stay in the hospital until she is fever free for 24hrs and the cultures come back all negative.

She's in good spirits. Enjoying being catered to, and eating all kinds of snacks she doesn't usually get at home, like oreo cookies, and popcicles, and "jugo yummy"...well, you get the idea!

Please pray that her fevers break, that the cultures are all negative, and that we are home soon--like TOMORROW!! :)

Thanks for keeping up with our little girl! Your prayers are appreciated.
