Well, Ally loves this hospital so much that we are back! Her fever reached upwards of 100.6 today, so Daddy left work early and headed up to the hospital with her and Grampa. They put her on antibiotics right away and gave her some fluids. They are concerned about her weight (16 pounds 3 ounces this afternoon...right about where she was when this started in February...interesting side note...the 50th percentile for a 16 month old is 24 pounds). Anyway...to help her keep weight on they have started her on TPN again. Which is nutrition in a bag that goes right to her central line. Good that it will help her keep weight on, bad that we can't keep her eating enough to do it ourselves. We noticed she has a number of mouth sores...that might explain a lot of her behavior the past few days.

So....it looks like were are here for "a while" according to the doc. On the plus side we have an excellent view of the helicopters, parking lot and mountains. Plus, Ally is not getting chemo, so long walks in the wagon are on the agenda. Also, no more school for me, so we don't have to worry about missing work for this visit...a little stress off the situation. Plus we will each get a night at David's House, so SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can you tell I am excited for that part?)

Yup....Ally will make things interesting in any way she can...what a goober!

PS: She still has enough energy to play the stinky foot game!
