The day got past me and I didn't get the food list finished!  It was a good day, though, ups and downs, like they say.  The morning started nicely, but still with pain for Cathy.  She began to develop a low grade fever, so she called Dr. Ho.  We don't want weaning to cause a blocked duct and an infection that might delay chemo.  Dr. Ho called in Keflex for Cathy just in case and also told her she could pump once or twice a day to relieve the pressure.  Pumping hurts Cathy, but it helps a bit.  Cabbage.  Weird, but somewhat effective.  Google it to grasp the phenomenon.  My explanation would do it no justice.


Clara also had a little fever today.  I've been worried she'll get dehydrated, so I've been monitoring her with that in mind.  She was pretty fussy this morning and started to feel hot, so I took her temperature.  When it read 99.2 I began to get worried.  However, later today Cathy was feeding Clara some cereal and saw her first tooth poking through!  That explains the fever and the extra fussiness.  On top of that good news, Clara drank 3 ounces of formula tonight and even took a pull on the bottle for an entire minute without breaking.  That's an up!


Jonah came home and had an amazing experience on the mission trip.  The youth group has a guiding question: Where did I see God today?  Jonah's answers to that question on the trip were so faithful and encouraging.  These children are such a blessing!
