Here goes...

Ally had another great day today! It is lots of fun to see her taking more and more steps.

We found out that her surgery will be next Tuesday. We have to be at the hospital for 6AM. It is going to be an all day process. The surgeon spoke with Ally's Daddy today and gave the impression that recovery will take just the rest of the week. Ally is scheduled to start chemo on the 6th, which is just 3 days after her surgery, so we are not sure if that will happen. It will probably depend on how quickly she recovers. We assume that she will just be in the hospital from next Tuesday until round 6 of chemo is over.
