Catherine is feeling unwell. She definitely has a cold but she is also feeling miserable. She came home early from nursery today and sat on the sofa feeling fed up. She then had a nap and ate a small bowl of pasta and watched CBeebies before going back to bed. It doesn't help that the steroids cause her sleep to be broken anyway and that she has practically no immune system at the moment! She doesn't have a temperature which is good, because if her temperature goes over 38.5 degrees, she would need to stay in hospital for treatment.
Please pray that she does not get a temperature and that she feels better soon. She was very frustrated today because she had to come home from school and didn't feel well enough for the picnic we had planned.
This is Catherine's story: Expect Miracles
This is Catherine's blog. Catherine is now six years old and is in remission from leukaemia (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia - ALL). Leukaemia is a rare yet treatable form of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood. This blog began at the start of her treatment in August 2008. The treatment lasted until October 2010. She went into remission remarkably early and the treatment was focussed on making sure the disease never returned. Over 15000 people have prayed for Catherine during the past three years for which her parents are deeply grateful. So many people love Catherine that it was hard to update everyone, so her parents began this blog to keep everyone updated. Catherine is the daughter of two Salvation Army Officers in the UK. This blog is a place to be updated, to send wishes to the parents and basically for everyone who knows Catherine (or doesn't) to be able to find out more about her progress. Feel free to post comments, concerns and questions. All prayers for Catherine at this time continue to be warmly received by her parents and Catherine's extended family. Catherine is now receiving blood tests and will be monitored regularly until she is ten-year-old when she will be give the official 'all clear'. Her parents especially welcome readers who are experiencing a child dealing with any form of cancer. Their prayer is that this blog will help them in their journeys.
