CHEMO IS DONE!!!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 06, 2008 07:47 AM, EDT

I forgot to mention the lights were fixed as soon as we told the CA and she flipped a switch on the first day.

Ally is on new puke meds. This med has to be mixed with benadryl to prevent muscle spasms. She gets it every 6 hours, so naps galore today! (They are going to try a 1/2 dose so she is not zonked the whole day.)

We would like to cheer on our friends Matt, Ivy and Bree who are running a half marathon in honor of CHaD today!

Ally has slept most of the day away. She only puked the one time this morning, before she got the new meds! They are going to stick to the full dose, so napping will be her main activity for the next few days.

The medical staff needs to take a careful look at her protocol to figure out which day she gets her stem cells. If it says 3 days after chemo ends it will happen on Tuesday, if it says 3 FULL days it will happen on Wednesday, because 3 full days would be 5:00PM on Tuesday, when the stem cell people leave (silly 9 to 5 jobs).

Ally has been enjoying Teddy Grahams lately. She will roar at them, then bite their heads off. One of her cutest games yet!
