I Just wanted to update everyone. My little Katie Bug (That's her nickname) Is home now. They ran all kinds of tests and only found a bit of bacteria in her throat. They stated that her counts are high enough right now to fight the infection off and ordered an antibiotic to help clear up the infection. This all started Monday when she had Methotrexate administered in her blood which usually goes in her spine.
Then Tuesday she got PEG Asparaginase shots in the legs. These are very hard on her body. She has had roughly 20 spinal taps and 10 or so of the PEG shots. She never screams with any of this. She just stares at you and the tears roll down her cheeks. It breaks my heart with every treatment. She is so strong and I am simply amazed with everything that she has gone through in less than1 year. We have roughly 4-5 months left of going weekly, then the maintenance starts. I would like to thank each and every one of you for the kind words and encouragement on these forums. I am not a super religious man by any means and do not look down on anyone for what they may believe in. Call it Carma, Energy, God's Grace, or whatever you believe in. I just know that when little kids cry and suffer it makes us all stand up and fight for the right things in life. I would take a bullet for any of my children but I cannot do a damn thing when it comes to sickness. This in itself can drive a man insane. I can only hope and be the best for them when they need me. Thank you all. |

glad to hear she is better, and that she is facing it with strength and courage we don't expect from a child.

I know I read this post a little late, but I said a prayer for her the moment I saw this thread. God bless you and your family. I have a 16 year old daughter I'm very close to, and I know I would be a wreck if I had to go through anything like that. Her strength is a blessing, as is yours!

My prayers are with you as well dude. This breaks my heart as children should not have to go through this.
