Great today amidst all the snow

She's doing great today, reading me a book and spitting apple sauce at me



I had a few questions about the type of cancer she has, I will repost it:

neroblastoma, stage 4, intermediate to low risk.

Twitter

A friend of mine told me that Twitter is trying to raise awareness of Catherine's type of cancer, if you can follow her to help out.

at home for the storm

No chemo this week her counts are low again, but she is very healthy. (she is 7 months old today)

Low counts never stop her from eating daddy's fingers or trying to eat the camera.

Tomorrow

tomorrow starts our long week at the hospital, cycle 3 is all out pateint thank god but its 3 days there.

I would like to thank everyone for the great gifts today, we are definately taking them with us tomorrow. I'm not sure but I think she might like them...(this is the second I opened them.)

Yesterday

Yesterday we finally got to hang out with Aunt Mary, Uncle Dee and Aunt Diane she had alot of fun and was passed out by 530 haha. (Mom and Dad were happy)

This week is a long one with her cycle 3 but with Grandma Kulick and Uncle Alex helping it will go quickly.

singing

her belly isnt this big, its how she is sitting and her shirt

Doc Visit

She had a great doc visit on Wednesday, her counts are low but that is to be expected. Her health is extremely well so we are all in great spirits.

Here are the fish, names:

Orange: Captain Dagu - named by Catherine
Yellow - Kai-Lan
Pink - Lulu
Green w/ stripe - Rintoo

Last three are named after her fav show : http://www.nickjr.com/ni-hao-kai-lan/ this show helps mommy with the mouth treatments and we both now know a little chinese.

She feels fine, a lil tired though.

But in this video taken today, you can watch a baby morph into a camera stealing dolphin:

(the thing talking is her doll daddy got for you on Valentines day, Kai-Lan)

She does go for her 3rd cycle next week, I will try my best to update then.

Uncle Mark and Uncle Alex

Uncle Mark and Alex came by yesterday to help greg move the old TV. She was sooo excited to see them..see:

And as they were here, Ashy decided to hide in the cabinets, we arent sure how he got in there though:

Her fishtank is up and running, we are getting some fish this week!

Skype today

she had a great skype call with Grandparents Sause today, she tried to eat the camera and thought it was hilarious!

she is a loud one

she is doing great today, we had some boughts of nausea and getting sick but that is expected. She is sitting up pretty much alone for a few seconds and talking constantly.

Mom taught her how to kiss and is working on how to clap now. She is in a mischevious mood today, as you can see. (snotty nose)

Snow Day!

she has a great docs visit yesterday, all counts good and her health is just fine.

We are staying in our jammies today, she is amazed at the snow. We will try to get on skype today depending on the internet today.

home and feelin fine

we got home last night at 830 pm, long day. At the hospital at 930am and left at 730 pm. But she did great! Showed the nurses her sucking toe trick.

Today she is fine, a lil bit tired from the medication but great.

This morning:

cycle 2

Cycle 2 today is going good. She is doing very well with everything and entertaining the nurses with the sucking of the foot trick. We wont get home to really late, because its medicine and hydration.

I should have some more pics tomorrow of her recovery.

toes.

update

We had a lil scare yesterday, a trip to the ER and we find out she is gassy and constipated due to solid foods. All is fine we were home that night. As of this morning, she is no longer constipated :)

As you can see, shes in a great mood today.
