Here's the rest of the story!

During our 29 days on the unit in Boston Ally stayed in her room 99% of the time. This was a room that took about 5 paces to cross. She was really good about not being able to leave.

The past week Ally has had the run of the house...going up and down the stairs, going from room to room, being outside for long walks.

Yesterday Ally had to stay in a SUPER SMALL room at the clinic (maybe 2 1/2 paces to cross by about 4 the other way). She wanted OUT! Ally has always behaved very well, especially when doctors, nurses, or anyone who isn't related to her is in the room. Yesterday she showed the staff at our other hospital that she is a toddler and she does throw fits! She finally calmed down when she got her hands on a roll of toilet paper and ripped large pieces off, "blew her nose" on them and then moved on to more toilet paper. It was a rough couple of hours.

So, yes, Ally is the cutest baby in the oncology world (perhaps the whole world), but she is still a toddler!
