Smiling Catherine!

Catherine has started to pick up! We don't know her neutrophil count yet but we do know that this afternoon she was starting to smile and giggle again! It helps that she is now no longer on her steriod medicine. The steroid really effects her mood and appetite - she has been craving toast with Philadelphia for days!

Catherine also got her school report today and she was very excited to hear how well she had done. She is looking forward to going back to school now which means she is well and truly on the mend. When she felt poorly, all she wanted was to snuggle up with me on the sofa or go to bed.

Thanks so much for all your prayers. We are now hoping that Catherine will be back at school next week as long as her immune system has recovered. We will find this out from a blood test on Monday.
