Latest hurdle with 14 months to go

Last night, Catherine asked her daddy why she had to have more medicines and bloods taken because she has had enough. She seems to be getting more distressed and fed up about having her bloods taken, and whatever we say, she just doesn't want to accept having to have all her treatment any more.

I can see why this might be happening now - we are moving a long way away from her friends and she will be starting a new school and hospital. Everything else is 'coming to and end' but her treatment hasn't also come to an end. It must be so frustrating and a bit confusing for her. Why should all this change, but why should she still have to be prodded with portacath needles and have her moods messed around with steroids? I think this seems to be what she is thinking. We keep explaining that her treatment stops her from becoming ill, but she is impatient now for the end of it. Only 14 months to go...

Please pray that she starts to feel more peaceful about things. She deals so well with everything, but it is still hard for her.
