From Ally's Mom...

Chemo was started around 11:30 last night. It was over around 2:30 this morning. Remarkably Ally slept through most of the tubes being hooked up and such. I was actually able to sleep from about 1:30 to 5:30 as well! The plan tonight is to start chemo around 9:30 and tomorrow they can move it up to 7:30 and for 5:30 on Monday. The doc said we should be out of here by Tuesday!

Her surgery is scheduled (we are waiting for the date from the doc) and we found out Ally will be here for about 5-7 days after the surgery, which may take us into her 6th round of chemo. It is all a little foggy right now.

We talked to her doctor, and we are holding off on her "weekend meds" because they can sometimes cause her to throw up, so we are going to wait until mid week to give them to her. And we are going to start her on stronger anti-puke meds right away as a preventative step.

Stay tuned later for a cool update about her weight...I have to go now, because she wants mommy.
