Recovery Day...who knows what day!

Today has been a pretty quiet day. Katie watched her favorite movie, Lion King II, about 4 or 5 times. I finished a book I had been reading. And we both cat napped here and there. My parents and sister came by tonight. Katie had a good time with them and was sweet which is unusual for her lately. She has been against having visitors lately. She states that she will see them at home! Katie has not been in much pain today and has only had morphine once. She saw her "tummy sore" for the first time today. She stated "poor tummy sore..." and then went on about what she was doing. She has not eaten anything today and drank very little. She appears to have gone on a hunger strike! (Katie states that she will eat when she gets home.) But she is still on TPN & lipids (IV nutrition) so she will not get malnourished or dehydrated. They are going to TPN & lipids only 12 hours, instead of 24 hours, starting tomorrow. Hopefully this will improve her appetite. Please pray that we get to go to the 9th floor tomorrow and start chemo so that I can get back to work sometime this week and so I do NOT go crazy at the hospital! Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us. Thank you also to those of you who have been raising money for us. We are overwhelmed by the generous outpouring of our community and friends. We thank God every day for all of you. We know that you are being "his hands and feet" to us and we appreciate your willingness to be used by God to help us. We are so blessed by God even in this, the most tragic part of our life.
