Today I learned a lot can happen while you nap next to your kiddo!

While I was asleep Ally was taken off constant morphine, at least 1 antibiotic was taken away, her thrush meds were taken away, and they are taking her off the TPN for 6 hours a day! She will still get morphine every 4 hours for a while, so she won't have to quit cold turkey!

Yesterday the internets went down or I would have told you the lovely story of Ally bleeding for over an hour, through 2 pressure bandages and 2 pairs of pants from the tiny little pin prick of her GCSF shot. After about an hour they transfused with 2 units of platelets and FINALLY the bleeding stopped, not the best part of my day! They have upped her transfusion cut off, and she will be getting them later today, BEFORE her shot! (Platelets are the last thing to come back.)

Daddy is coming today!
