I'll make this brief since there's not much new to report.
Kelly's still in the hospital and still struggling with mouth sores. Her counts have yet to rebound so the docs estimate it might be another week before they are healed up. They are managing her pain as best as they can but it is still quite uncomfortable. She is sleeping most of the day because of the high dosages of pain killers.
They have decided to give her a little break from chemo and allow her body to heal a bit. I think this break will be a couple of weeks.
That's all for now...

Update - January 21st
I apologize for the delay in posting an update. I know you all are trying to stay posted! It has been an incredibly busy week mixed with the fact that our son broke our keyboard on our family computer, so I am finally giving in and using my husband's work computer in what we affectionately call the "Bat Cave" (his home office).
..................................................................................................................................................................
Kelly is not feeling well and could use an abundance of prayer right now. She was admitted to Children's last Tuesday to begin another regimen of chemo and the effects are really starting to set in. She woke at 3 a.m. this morning with terrible mouth sores, which are a symptom of one of the drugs. As you can imagine, this is very painful - they are all over the inside of her mouth and down her throat so ice cream is about all she can handle. Thankfully today they were able to help her control her pain better, and hopefully tonight she will get more sleep than last night.
The doctors say that these sores will probably stick around until her blood counts begin to bounce back after the treatment, which could be as little as a couple of days since she is now done receiving the drugs, or it could last for weeks.
This is our main request - that her counts would come back quickly so she would be relieved of the terrible discomfort.
Special prayer for Rosie - who is having a tough time adjusting to her new school. She is such a quiet, introspective girl as it is, and to be thrown into a new place with new people is pretty hard. She has stayed home for most of the days, so please pray that God would comfort her and she might make some great friends and really start enjoying it as much as possible.
Thanks for your continued support and prayer.
