After two wonderful weeks at home, we checked back into the hospital today. We had a wonderful time at home. We were out and about a lot, but tried to stay low key. We did take a few fun day trips. We went to the beach and saw Sea Lions, and Kate loved all the Sea Gull's flying around. We also had lunch in Mission Beach and walked the boradwalk. Kate had a few playdates and was finally able to play with kids and have a good time. All in all, we had a great time at home!
We've been telling Kate that we were coming to the hospital and we're going to get a room and see the Nurses. Once again, she was 100% okay with it and was excited to see the nurses. She said "bye bye" to the house this morning, and we were on our way. We've checked in, and are getting settled. Kate & Kiera are both asleep in the crib, it is so peaceful! We hope to get a bigger room soon, and one that is a little more private. This one is nice because it has a private bathroom! I hope our next room has a private bathroom too! Unfortunately Kate has c-diff again. This is the fifth time! She's on lockdown in the room until she has three negative stool samples. It is a rough way to start this stay, but we will manage. Lets pray for negative stool so she isn't confined!
We start chemo tomorrow. She is getting two types... One of them is a leg shot ( I can't remember the name right now) and the other is high dose Ara-C. She's had Ara-C during every round, but this dose is much stronger than the previous doses. Before each of the other rounds Kate also had Ara-C injected into her spinal fluid, but this round of Ara-C is so strong that they don't even do that. The Ara-C is so strong that it will make it's way into her spinal fluid. I hope the anti-nausea meds work for her this time around.
We expect to be here for another 6-8 weeks while Kate recovers from this round of chemo. We then pray that all will be clear and we never have to put our little Angel through this again.
Her Second Birthday is July 8th.... expect a big Birthday/ End of Treatment Party!
Love & Thanks to All!

Looks like the finish line is almost here. Wishing all of you, especially Kate, continued strength.
Aw! Praying that this last round goes well and you guys can be home permanently! So fortunate that you guys got two weeks at home and that Kate does so well going back to the hospital. What a strong little girl! Keep us posted on the party!
Glad to see you're back online even though that means back in the hospital. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at home all together and hope the next time comes sooner rather than later! Love,Steph
