Which way to go?

More bad labs for Katie. Her liver lab work is not looking good. The Doctors believe that maybe the chemotherapy drug Cytoxin is causing liver damage. They have decided to stop it for a week and see if that improves the liver labs. Trouble is, that is the drug they are using to keep the vasculitis in check. This is truly a balancing act with no clear guidelines. If we stop the cytoxin, does the vasculitis return? If we don't stop the cytoxin, does it cause irreparable liver damage? since this is so rare, it is not like there are other cases the Doctors can refer back to and say...well when we did this, we got this result.

We need to pray for God to guide the Doctor's decision making and to give peace to Kelly and Katie. also some miraculous liver regeneration would be great!

Trust in the Lord always
