January 17, 2006 -- OT visit #10
normal counts, everything back to normal, cookbook update

Katie is now 11 months OT and a 10 month survivor!!!

Katie had her #10 OT appointment on Tuesday, January 17 which included a CBC. Her counts came back normal! She returns in February for another CBC.

Katie started swim lessons at a new place last week. She LOVES it! In just two lessons, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in her confidence, form and strength. In a few weeks we will add a second swim class for her so she will be going twice a week.

Cookbook Update
We haven’t received a delivery date from the printer yet. As soon as we have a date, we will let everyone know.

In the next week or two, we will have the online ordering set up so we can accept orders with credit cards.

The fundraising and book signing events for Katie’s Cooking! are in the works. We have the kick-off party slated for March 12th at Savona Restaurant in Gulf Mills. We will be emailing everyone with information as the date gets closer. We will be posting details on this event and other events as they become available.

Once again we would like to thank you for your continued prayers and support!

Hugs,
Patty
