''Wobbly medicine?''

Despite a bad cough, Catherine is still doing well. This weekend we took Catherine to a photographers and had a family photograph taken. We had been waiting until Catherine felt comfortable with her hair, and now that she likes her short hair, we thought it was a good time. It was very good fun, and it was nice getting an updated picture taken.

The other day I told Catherine about the fact that I need to go to the hospital in a week's time for an endoscopy. I thought she might be concerned, so I explained that I would need some medicine a bit like her 'wobbly medicine' (the name Catherine gave the anaesthetic because it makes her feel a bit 'wobbly'). I think she misheard me, because suddenly she exclaimed ''Oh no, I don't need wobbly medicine, do I?''. I replied that she didn't need 'wobbly medicine' and it was only mummy that would need it. Then she pipes up: ''Oh well, that's alright then''. Thanks, Catherine, for your concern!!!!!!

On Tuesday Catherine is having another dose of Vincristine (chemotherapy) at the hospital followed by five days of steroids. Last time, the steroids made her very emotional. Please pray that they don't make her feel so miserable this time. Her neutrophils (immune system) are still low, so please also pray that she doesn't get any infections. She has a bad cough and it would not be good if this went to her chest. Thankyou.
