From Ally's parents...

Good Morning Everyone,

Again, thanks for all the wonderful thoughts. I love reading them, and can't wait to read them all to Ally. It is comforting to know SOOOOOO many people are praying for her, thinking about her and loving her. Her Daddy and I feel the prayers and love as well.

Here is the news for today: We are still trying to control the pain. She seems more comfortable today, and has a super grip on our fingers! We are trying to give her some yogurt and other foods through her mouth. She is taking a couple of bites at a time.

We ARE starting Chemo tomorrow. She is uncomfortable enough and her blood pressure is not resolving so we are going ahead with it. The Chemo will take 3 days to administer, and after that, if her blood pressure is better, or they feel we will be able to keep it under control at home, she will go home. That puts us at Friday, Saturday or Sunday for bringing our little angel home.

We are still waiting for those one last test results to see what the rest of her treatment will look like, and she has a couple of other tests while she is here, but we are beginning to see a pin prick of light at the end of this very long and dark tunnel.

Thank you seems not enough to all of you, but it is all the English language allows at this point, so THANK YOU! for everything everyone has done so far. We love all of you!
