To start off: Ally did AWESOME today. She was allowed to eat until 8:00 this morning, and started asking for more food at 8:02. She NEVER cried for food though.

She had to go to the Ear, Nose and Throat doc. This lady looked in Ally's ears, and said she looked good. (Ally's oncologist did the exact same thing last Friday...there is at least $300 down the tube!)

Ally then had to go to "Pain Free" to be put under anesthesia for her CT scan, bone marrow biopsy and hearing test. We were scheduled to be there at 1:15. We showed up at 1:15 and they ushered us into a pediatric room because there were a lot of kids in the pain free area. We waited and waited and waited. About 2:00 they FINALLY came and got us and put Ally under. She did great for her tests. The only preliminary info we have right now is that higher pitched sounds (like s, th, ch, sh, etc.) dropped a bit, but are still in the normal range. They suspect these levels will drop even more. Stinker!

We are going to run her nightly fluids tonight (because she had such a strange eating and drinking day) but then we get to take a break!

Ally now gets 8 days in a row where she can eat whenever and whatever she wants!

That was our day. I'll let you know results when I get them! Thanks for all your caring words.
