Ally's Stats:
7/28: ANC = 35
weight = 19.14 lbs
Goal = ANC of 500 for three days in a row

Ally had a good weekend with her Daddy and a good time with Grammie and Grampa.

She has more mouth sores now, but not all over her mouth. She gets an extra dose of morphine when we have to clean her mouth. We have noticed the enamel has worn off her teeth near the gum line. They assure us this is typical, and that most kids recover from it okay. We can't do anything about it now, but hope to speak to a dentist before we leave.

Ally got some platelets last night (she was at 6, most kids are between 150-450). This is her 3rd transfusion in 4 days...if you were thinking about donating blood or platelets..go ahead and do it. It looks as though she is going to need blood every night for a while.

She is still in good spirits and LOVES to look out the window into the hall and play peek-a-boo with the people walking by! The docs are amazed at her energy level, and that she will still take even the smallest amount of food each day.
