Good Evening All,

Day 3 of Round 1 is over. Ally slept through the first half of her treatment and then played a little during the second half. So far she has not puked, but that did happen later in the night last night. We think it might be when she gets her pain meds, those might upset her tummy enough to make her spew. Hoping tonight is the exception.

She has been playful today, and LOVING her book. We are excited to be 1/2 way done with the 1st round.

Note from Ally's Great Aunt listener: Nurse Teri tells me that Ally's activity level increasing is the first sign that the tumor is shrinking, because as it eases off her aorta (a large vessel that oxygenates the heart) the more oxygen the heart receives, thus the more it can distribute that oxygen to other organs, and then out to the arms and legs! Go Ally!♡
