The nausea sets in

The last couple days have been tough. Katelyn is hardly eating anything. She's nauseous all the time & won't eat or drink very much. She may take a bite here and there, but not nearly enough. Last night was rough. She slept most the night but when the nurses came in to hook up her 3rd set of chemo (Ara-C), she woke up incredibly upset. The nurses already had a sterile field with sterile gloves and everything so I had to hold her hands so she would stay still. Poor girl was sick, as soon as I sat her up she started vomiting. It just broke my heart. I got her to take a sip of water and back to sleep she went. I just layed next to her for close to two hours watching her to make sure she didn't get sick again. She slept like an angel after that. It is sad to see her feel ill. She is also feeling weak. She gets little spurts of energy here and there but for the most part she wants to lounge on either Todd or I, and wants us to carry her on walks. Usually she will push her baby around in her stroller, or ride on the IV tower, or just drag us wherever she wants to go. She and Todd just got back from a walk where she towed around a little barking dog behind her. She had a burst of energy, but wanted to be held half way down the hall. As most of you know, she is as energetic as they come. She is definitely Todd's little girl, always going going going.

I made a point to sneak away today. It was my little sisters baby shower. Jeanette is 36 weeks pregnant and has the most adorable little basketball belly I've ever seen! She had a lot of wonderful friends & family there to support her and help provide for her little bundle of joy. It was great to see all of our family and was a nice distraction from the hospital.

For some reason I can't get Kate's Halloween pictures to upload. I'll try again later.

She is absolutely precious. I love the silly picture... she is suck a ham. I am so sorry that she is getting sick... it must be very hard to watch that. Stay strong, we are thinking about you and praying.
