Good News...Ally's counts are good enough that we do not have to travel ANYWHERE tomorrow! Her ANC is 900 (a good number for her) and her platelets are up in the 60's (much better than when they were 4).

She does have thrush...it seems to be an ongoing problem, but nothing that will delay or really hurt her, it has been described as having your mouth covered in fuzz and making foods taste a little funny.

Speaking of foods here is some fun info for ya:
Ally is not allowed to have many foods while she is on quarantine. She can't have soft or moldy cheeses (think brie and blue cheese), IF we were to take her to McDonald's we would need them to make everything fresh for her and she is not allowed fountain drinks, when we order pizza we have to go pick it up from a place where we can see the kitchen and they are not allowed to cut it. She is not allowed to have ice cream or frozen yogurt from ice cream places. She can have ice cream from our freezer. We can no longer drink from the container if Ally is going to be having any, she is not allowed to eat after us, she can't have deli meats. She can only have fruits that were grown in the USA (except bananas) and we should really avoid fresh fruits anyway. All veggies have to be cooked well, as well as any meat we feed her. All these rules are funny to me, because she only eats yogurt and Pediasure....hopefully towards the end of her quarantine she will be eating some of these things.
