August 15, 2006 -- OT visit #16 and #17
onco visits, catching up on childhood illnesses, vacation at the shore
Katie is now a 17-month cancer survivor!!!
Oncology visits
Katie had her July and August CBCs -- all of her counts were in normal range! Next month she goes for a full work-up and we'll discuss her issues with pain.
Catching up on childhood illnesses
This summer has not been too kind to Katie. Each time she recovered from one illness, another one emerged. After her bout with HFMD, she was fine for a week or so and then came down with strep. A few weeks later, she had another strange rash and low-grade fever. She's been bruising a lot, but it seems to be in areas that are not of concern with her doctor.
Vacation at the shore
We enjoyed a week at the Jersey shore -- fun in the sun, beautiful sunsets on the bay, rides, boardwalk, swimming, good food -- and best of all, very relaxing!
For the first time since before Katie was diagnosed with ALL, we are finally enjoying ourselves again!!!
