We need to hold Ally in the Light...

SUNDAY, 4:13pm, EST
From Ally's parents...

Everything takes longer at a hospital than one would like. The epidural situation is still not solved. We have been trying to get her to sleep all day, and finally she has just fallen asleep. (4:00 PM) The trick was for her to shimmy herself sideways in the crib so she could stare at the computer screen displaying her vitals. Apparently her heartrate puts her to sleep.

She is still uncomfortable, and now her blood pressure is not coming down how they wanted it with the medication, so they have upped the meds. Her heart rate is also faster than they want. We are measuring her belly to check the tumor growth and if things do not improve soon the doctor thinks we might start chemo earlier than expected. She wanted to wait until the results came back to know exactly what kind of Chemo, but they might just go ahead with a general kind.

I'll be sure to keep you posted, and thanks so much for reading and caring about our little Ally!

As you can see, we have a kind of situation developing,
and I hope the doctors get right on it and make that baby comfy
and get that baby well~!!

A lot of hearts are riding on this,
especially God's. ♡
