good news

Just talked to Lesha. She was able to get out and get some much needed fresh air. Peter is keeping Kate company.
Kate is doing so much better. She is in her little crib playing and reading her books. She still has an iv hooked to her little foot so she can't walk around but Lesha says she is much happier. They are hopeful that the end is near. The fluid they removed from the node is being tested. They want to watch Kate carefully and make sure the lymph node doesn't swell up again.
There was so much relief talking to my sister. Horray!
As for Carson... He had a good day at Bama and Umpa's playing with his cousins. Jeff took them over there this morning to play and help Carson get some wiggles out. Apparently they put on their own Beauty and the Beast play with Carson starring as Gaston, Braxton starring as The Beast and Adelle starring as Belle. From Braxton's words, "Belle just watched me and Gaston fight the whole time, that's what they do in the movie. And we kept on saying WE'LL KILL THE BEAST!!" When I reminded Braxton that he was the beast he said he knew and laughed. Sounds like they had fun. I also heard that they all had their shirts off most the morning. Not sure why.
And me you are wondering. Why am I home? Why are my kids at my mom and dad's and not with me? Why is Carson not here playing? Why am I not at my sisters bedside in Seattle? Well I am home with strep throat and yes it's killing me because of all the other places I feel I should be.
However, I have been keeping the blog updated and friends and family informed. I am also keeping a journal for my sister since I'm sure when this is said and done it will be a blur. So that is my purpose for now, I guess.
