Ally had a good night! The plan is to start taking away more antibiotics until she is down to zero, or at least ones we can give her orally at home.

After her platelet transfusion yesterday her platelets were up to 44! AND they decided to give her the GCSF through IV. You may be asking, why not through the IV the whole time, rather than sticking a needle in her everyday? Well.....she is on a protocol, and they have to stick to it perfectly, or it won't count. Her protocol said, give her a shot, so that's what we did. But, after the bleeding incident some doctor worked some magic and now she can get them IV and still be on the protocol!

Ally is having a fun time at the window into the hall...making faces at passersby and pretending to be shy when they look at her! (I'll try to get a picture of that this weekend!)

Happy weekend!
