Our phones have started blowing up with questions about how Kate is doing today, so it must be time for an update.
Last night was rough. Kate was very weak, and had a hard time walking even from the bed to the toilet. The nurse this morning said that her labs came back with few deficiencies, including potassium and magnesium. She mentioned that the doc is considering a blood transfusion later today or tomorrow. If she decides to do that, Kate should get a burst of energy from it, so that would be great to see.
Fluids continue, as do antibiotics. She's looking fuller now than she did yesterday thanks to all the fluids, and has more energy. We're at the salon here at MDA right now as she gets the rest of her hair shaved off.
I gave her a 1/4 inch buzz at home on Sunday because it was thinning a lot, and we wanted the kids to be there to witness her hair changing that rapidly. The remaining fuzz is uncomfortable under her chemo caps, so she wanted to come down and get the rest of it shaved.
I have to say - she has a good head for being shaved. A few who know me very well know that my scalp is... well... topographical. Hers is not. Very smooth, and I'm sure you won't have any trouble believing that she's every bit as beautiful as the day I married her.
Anyway, that's the update today. Thank you all for all your prayers. Please continue them. We love you all and are praying for each of you.
Love you. Thank you for the update. Praying...

David you're every bit the man we've always known you to be. We are praying for you in a special way today as we head to my cousin's wedding. You are living out the sacrament beautifully, my friend. We love you.
