Ally sure does like to keep things interesting.

She took a 20 minute nap on the ride home. She zoned in and out for the rest of the afternoon and finally fell asleep on Daddy's arm around 5:00 this evening.

Meanwhile we were checking her temperature. If it reaches 100.5 we have to call the hospital to let them know we are on our way back to be admitted, so they can start giving her high dose antibiotics. At 3:00 it was 99.9, at 4:00 it was 98.9, at 5:00 it was 100.4. Ahhh!

At 5:45 Ally's oncologist called to let us know labs will need to be drawn on Wednesday. I tell her of the 100.4 temp and she says not to worry. Ally's counts are good enough right now to handle it, and we only need to worry if she starts getting/acting sick. phew!

So, we decide maybe we should just bring her upstairs and put her to bed in her own crib. That was 6:30, she is not too happy about it, but will settle down soon....right?

So our plan is to check her temp every couple of hours tomorrow. If she is out of sorts or if it climbs higher than we want we may be headed back to the hospital sooner than we thought.

I'll keep you posted!
