Ally made a short visit to the NH hospital today. They took some blood, changed the caps on her tubies and talked to Grammy a little bit. We found out there is no getting rid of that 4AM morphine (at least for a couple of days). Ally did not need any blood today, but some of her values were low, so they are going to take more on Wednesday when we have to bring her back for radiation simulation. Speaking of radiation, Ally's oncologist mentioned that she thought it would last for about 4 weeks. Ally will NOT be admitted for radiation. This means, 4 weeks of day trips, or finding a place to stay up there. We have not decided what to do yet. We need to keep in mind Ally is in quarantine, so she can't be exposed to dirty hotels or other people (like at David's House).

Ally is still having troubles sleeping at home, and getting her to eat (or at least us figuring out what she wants to eat) has not been fun. We will probably get it under control just when radiation begins...
