Well our second trip to CHOC started 2hrs before mothers day (Sat May 13th @ 10pm) and lasted 15 days..
I was shooting a wedding today when Heather text messaged me "WE ARE GOING HOME RIGHT NOW!!! I was frustrated that I couldn't be there to bring all the Cotter girls home, but to be honest it had little effect on the joy my heart had.
Unfortunately we can not have any visitors for a while.. The reason we were able to come home (in addition to her blood counts coming up a little) was that at least at home we can control the amount of people that Kaitlyn is around. Her immune system is SO low that any little thing can put her into a fever fight mode.. and you all know what happens then.. So we kept telling the doctors that it doesn't make sense. "you want us to be secluded but you are making us stay in a hospital where we have to share a room???".. We were blessed with AWESOME roommates, but there is still that fear of the unknown, and also the statistical risk goes up with the more people that come in contact with her..
Thanks again you all for your prayer and support..
Kaitlyn goes into clinic on Tuesday for her day 29 procedures and tests.. Day 29 will mark the completion of induction and the tests done that day will solidify whether or not she is a rapid or slow responder to the Chemo...
WE will keep you posted

The lyrics to this song by Catsing Crowns reminds me of your journey every time I hear it. The song is titled "I'll Praise You in This Storm".....
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm
I will lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth
Bless you as you start your new journey again at home....may all of your strength, joy, and help come from the Lord!
Yay!!!!!
SO excited!!!!!
Hurray! We are so thankful and delighted to hear Kaitlyn could come home and you are all together in your own home. "There really is no place like home."
We have been bringing baby Kaitlyn before God's Mercy Seat and praying for God to heal her little body if that is His will.
We miss you and send you our love.
Make lots of good memories together.
The pictures are wonderful...too.
Hugs and Kisses,
Travis and Jeanette
