Little by little, as the steroids are reduced, we are seeing more of the 'real' Catherine again. The steroids really did have a big effect on her personality. She is much more talkative, sociable and cheerful, and now that she is not so afraid of whether her portacath will hurt her, she is having proper big cuddles with her mummy again.
Today she had some bloods taken by the community nurse. She was nervous about having her 'magic cream' on before they inserted her 'wiggly' line into the portacath, but despite her nerves, she let us do it anyway. That's what I really like about Catherine - she is afraid sometimes but she still decides to get on with it. After the 'wiggly' was inserted and removed again, she got to choose a balloon from the nurse AND got to go and play with her friends again, so she was pleased.
She is getting very excited about writing her name at the moment. I think her favourite letters are the 'C' and the 't'. She loves writing the 't' as she draws it like a really big cross. She also loves what she affectionately calls 'Catherine's number' (her age - number 3) and really enjoys writing it.
Please continue to pray that Thursday's results are good. Thank you for your ongoing support of Catherine.
