update on Kate

My friend was just texting me for an update on Kate so I thought I would post again. All the prayers and concerns are so appreciated. Thank you to everyone for your continual prayers and support.
Last night Kate had a blood transfusion because her red blood cell count was so low. They also did surgery to drain her swollen lymph node. They were able to extract 200 cc's of fluid from her swollen node. That's 10 ounces!! The doctors were shocked at the amount of fluid.
The cancer specialists have ruled out cancer as of now. This was a scary consideration but one that had to be looked into. They are thinking it's still a bacterial infection and hoping that now after having the blood transfusion the antibiotics will be more effective.
Kate was pretty out of it last night after surgery Lesha said so hopefully they were able to all get some sleep.
