Jail Break 2

Kathie was released from the hospital today. All of her counts are going up in the right direction, and her neutrophil count is sky high. She is still a little gassy - have to keep the romance alive somehow, you know? She's less weak today and looks like in general approving. Bob and her are just going to veg at Eddie and Melissa's today and then they are off to Houston tomorrow. Christen is meeting them there.

Kathie did leave with a little warning from the oncologist that diarrhea can be more than a good song lyric... it can be dangerous for cancer patients if it gets too bad. On that note, she's going to have to pay serious attention to the length of time it goes on, as the dehydration risk and nutrient loss is very real.

Just a quick note to say that, as you have been, you continue to be in our prayers and thoughts. We love you Kathie,
