Ally Update

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2008 05:25 PM, EST


Hello everyone,


Well, as always things look a little brighter the next day. Ally should be starting her 1st round of Chemo, pretty much any minute now. We are nervous to see how it is going to make her feel in the short term.


We have been doing a lot of talking and figuring out how to get back to work and be here for Ally. We think we have a good plan. We do need to get back to work to pay some bills and keep ourselves from going crazy.


We talked to the social worker here today and she had spoken with Ally's doctor. It looks like she may be able to come home for short visits between chemo. We were relieved to hear that, and also nervous, because we don't really like to clean the house that well.....all those people asking what they could do for us....do you have sponges and bleach? Just Kidding! That is still weeks away at this point, so we have some time to prepare the house.


We feel much better about the situation today, but it is still a stinky situation. We will be calling in all those offers to help in the weeks and months ahead!


Thanks again for everything you are doing to help us and Ally. She was playful this morning, pulling at her tubes and clanging her block against the side of her crib.
