Ally does not like to follow orders. Her doctors thought for sure that we would be back at the hospital by now with a fever...nope, Ally has decided to not have a fever. We like her for that.

However...we did have that little visit on Thanksgiving to the emergency room. Good news, Ally can pee now without it hurting. We were all very excited about that. Miraculously her rash has disappeared as well.

Ally's blood counts are low (red and white). Most likely she will need to go to DHMC for a transfusion tomorrow for red cells and possibly platelets. The injections we give her every day will help her white cells build up. Right now she has less than 0.1 white cells. Which means she pretty much has no white cells, which means she cannot fight off any infection, which means, she stays home. She is used to being able to go places now, and is confused when we sit in the car while Daddy goes into the restaurant to pick up the food.

Ally has been in a great mood (as usual) and very cuddly. She still is lacking energy, but will have a boost of it every now and then. She is still not eating great, and when we were at the hospital on Thanksgiving she had already lost about 2 pounds.

Extreme Home Makeover is on tonight at 8:00 on ABC. There is a small possibility we will be in the background of one of the shots at the Children’s Hospital.


P.S.: We are pleased to tell you that Ally has not lost any of her hair yet! Keep your fingers crossed that it will stay in this time!
