Katie had a great time at the mall. She got some Hannah Montanna lip gloss and ice cream. She spent the morning in a hard work out and then went on the field trip to West County Mall with the staff from the hospital and other kids from the Rehab floor. Kelly said it was a great sucess! Activities in the evening are becoming a real challenge for Kelly. Anyone have any games that might be good for Katie? Katie's Girl Scout Troop had a halloween party and made a trick or treat bag of goodies for Katie this week. Her appetite and sense of humor are on the mend so the goodies should be a real treat.

Mary had a end of the season volley ball party at school and Kelly got to go to it with her since Katie started this new extended rehab hours. That was nice for everyone.

Questions for the future:
Did the chemo work?
Does that mean the risk of strokes are gone or are they just lowered?
Is Katie expected to get back most function?
Long term outlook?
