Ally's Star

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 5:42 PM, EDT

Aunt Janet came through! She got a picture of Ally's star. She sent me a couple different versions (in different formats), but I am not tech advanced enough to figure out how to get the whole pdf file uploaded. Somehow I managed to get the picture of the star and the logo of the observatory where it was taken (Maria Mitchell Association telescope on Nantucket. Aunt Janet is the Director there.)



Pretty cool stuff!

In more day to day news:
Ally started chemo again yesterday. She was scheduled for a 12:30 appointment at DHMC yesterday, for Day 1. Chemo FINALLY began at 3:30, and Ally, Grammy and Grampa were out of there by 6:00. They had pizza waiting for them when they got back to Concord. Ally napped a total of 30 minutes yesterday.

Today chemo was at home. When the nurse got to the pharmacy to pick up the chemo, things were wrong, and it wasn't mixed correctly. Something to do with the weight Ally has gained (she is over 21 pounds!), so chemo began 2 hours late today. Grammy was very thankful the nurse was being so careful with Ally's medicine. Hopefully things will run more smoothly tomorrow.

Mommy gave blood today, in honor of Ally, and almost passed out.

Ally played in the dirt all afternoon. She is picking up 2-3 new words a day lately. Today she is saying: bike, orange and Popsicle. She is playing a lot of imaginative games, and LOVES all her Easter gifts, mostly the candy!!!

Have a great week!
