Katie in the heat of the battle....

Here is the latest from Katie's CaringBridge page...

Oh my sweet girl. She has struggled. She had one wonderful week full of reprieve, adventure and laughs. We soaked it in. And savored each day. Since then the last 5 weeks have been hard. She has not been in pain daily, rather in the vicious struggle with medications, vicious fatigue, discouragement and side effects. It seems each day has been trouble shooting the trouble for that day. A new form of subtle seizure started for which we can get no answers or reprieve, even after a short hospital admission. We have tried this that and the other. To little avail. We are in the process of potentially trying something different altogether.

She is still gentle, beautiful and full of life. The life is just trapped as of late.

We return to the hospital today for platelets and likely red blood cells also. Her tank is low. She also has her MRI in only 2 1/2 weeks. It will be more extensive this time.

I just wanted to say something, for those of you have thoughtfully inquired. Sometimes words are just hard to come by. Grateful for love and prayers for Kate. Thank you for not forgetting in these long years.

Psalm 143:1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief
