Well, I figured it is about time for an update. Sorry for the delay in these but we have kind of had a rough week in the Davis family. For those that did not know, my Dad's mom Charline passed away this past Sunday in Jonesboro. She's been battling cancer for about four years and has never been in the hospital for it. This past week, she was getting so week and couldn't eat, so we took her up to see if we could correct that, and apparently things were worse off than we knew. It has been tough on us, but we are making it through, we know for a FACT that she is better off now and in heaven with my grandfather and my Dad's brother. This was even tough on Connie and John because they wanted to be with us during this but also needed to be with Kayla. We have a wonderful family and some amazing friends, we could never be thankful enough for what God has blessed us with.
As for the update; A little rough but reassuring news with Kayla. She has developed Pneumonia and they are trying to fight the infection to get it taken care of. They have put her in intensive care and do have her on a ventilator, but it's not necessarily bad news. She was having a little trouble breathing b/c of the infection, so they put her on the vent to help her relax so that they can successfully beat this. They have found the antibiotic that seems to be working and they plan on keeping her on the vent over the weekend so they can be sure that she doesn't get worse again. They hope to pull her off the vent after this weekend, and then she'll stay in intensive care for another 24 hours so they can monitor her closely.
She is doing OK, and is responsive to people talking to her, but it is rough for her to be on that machine. It's even more rough for Uncle John and Aunt Connie to see her on it, even more so for Kyle. I know everyone has been thinking about them and praying for them, please keep it up, even more so now. It was rough going through the first rounds of chemo when we first heard about this, but to see her on that vent and to have her in that intensive care is hard to see and hard to deal with. They really need your prayers and your encouragement. Thank you all for being such a big help to our family and to Kayla. I'll update again as soon as I get some new news.

Kayla's Update 3-14-07
Well, it has been a while since I've updated anything, and I apologize for that. Kayla is still in her treatments every two weeks or so.
She's currently back in Little Rock recovering from her second round of treatments. The doctor told them that it's pretty much a wait game. She goes to get her treatment and then they wait for her to acquire a fever, in which case, they put her in the hospital to get antibiotics. This second round has been a little rougher on her than the last time, but she's making it. I've been telling her to keep her head up and push on. Thank you to everyone who has written and checked in on her, it really does mean a lot.
I really have nothing else to report, just to keep praying for her, she's got two treatments down and two more to go and then she'll move to six month checkup's. Till next time....
