Ally Update

It is always hard to update after reading all the wonderful responses

people write. The screen is very blurry. I'll do my best.

Ally's Daddy and I are soooo thankful for all of you. There is no

way, no way, we would be able to do this on our own. Everyone is

special to us, and we are especially thankful for those at our

workplaces covering for us and making us think everything is 100%

okay, even though we are not there (in reality we know the places are

falling apart without us! :)

On the Ally update: Her pain seems to be better under control today.

She is still holding on to our fingers really tight! We love it. She

has been sleeping since about 4:00, so that probably means she will

be up at 3:00 this morning for the day! That's our little Ally. She

had an echocardiogram this afternoon, and the results were okay. Her

heart is acting a little funny, but they think it is because of the

high blood pressure and tumor pushing on things. They will recheck

her heart before the 2nd round of chemo, so it is not something they

feel they need to monitor closely.

I'll be sure to let you know what is going on tomorrow.

Again, words are not enough, but thank you all!
