Journal entry by Valerie Walters —
It has been 2 weeks since my last update. I have been making space for the family to get settled into their new routines, and in an effort protect their family time, I have not reached out for updates at the frequency I had been. I did get the chance to talk to Joe this afternoon though. He reports that Kata is getting stronger. She has more of an appetite and is needing less tube feeds. She is getting chemo 2x per week in port on her head and 1x every 3 weeks in the port on her chest. The side effects are minimal and mostly show up as fatigue. They have been staying very busy with multiple appointments each week. She has an MRI scheduled for next week that will determine how the chemo is working. I also can't forget that Kata had a birthday last week!! She was given a video montage made by friends and family and had a bunch of friends drop by to serenade her with signs and instruments. And at Kata's request they celebrated with multiple varieties of pie. Please continue to keep Kata and her beautiful family in your thoughts. I will write another update in the next week or so.
