| We finally figured out how to get Kate to eat. |
Kate had a remarkable day. Like the last 3 days she has been challenged to fight through extreme pain today but has done everything she's been asked to and more. Today they took out her epidural so her pain is now controlled with just the morphine pump. Tonight we are going to add other medications and hopefully get her a good night's sleep. Nights have been very hard for her. She was able to take a short walk around the room today and tomorrow will try to walk further. The chair was too hard today, she did 20 minutes but without the epidural 45 minutes was not something she could handle. We considered the 20 a success considering how much pain she endured each minute she sat there.

movin on up
Kate was moved from critical care today to the regular pediatric floor. This is the last stop before going home. She still has several days in the hospital and tough challenges to overcome but moving to a regular room raised her spirits although she is going to miss the nurses she got to know on floor 4.
