ALLY UPDATE
Pic from Thanksgiving hospital stay (for tummy flu)
Yesterday, Ally's parents said the goal this week is to "fatten her up" before the start of chemo. The docs had given her some Pediasure, but she didn't do so well with that, so they gave her breastmilk (through her NG tube). Mostly, they are waiting on more test results (due later in the coming week), to learn the subtype of the kind of cancer, so that the chemo can be fine tuned for Ally
This morning we learned that Ally had another difficult night. Her epidural started to leak. While waiting for the doctors to come to fix that (which should be soon), they are giving her some morphine. But she has been uncomfortable all the same. Meanwhile, Ally is getting some more nutrients from an IV line that is full of vitamins and fats and good things for her.
Please keep the prayers and candle-lighting coming.
So very grateful, listener (Ally's Great Aunt) ♥

♡ THANK-YOU, puddle! ♡
I just sent you a new update...
not going so well today.
Oh dear. Such a sad picture. Hoping it will turn happier...
And, why can't they design a damn hospital gown that accomodates an IV? (Snaps up the sleeves...not that complicated!). Sorry...side rant there left over from when my daughter had RSV.
Dear Anon...
I'm with you!!
I'll bet such a gown has been invented and may be found online.
Given that Ally will be having treatments for many months,
I may see if I can find some for her!
Excellent idear! Many thanks! ♡
