Ally made it safely to and from DHMC today. She is only getting one chemo drug this week (last week she got 2), so after today things should run a little quicker for Grammy and Grampa. They had to take labs this morning, and wait for them to come back before they could start the chemo. Her labs came back good enough to go ahead with the chemo, but her counts are dropping. It looks like we are going to have to do GCSF again. Those are daily shots in her leg to boost her white blood cell count. We will have to make sure she only comes in contact with healthy people again, at least until her counts come up.

Ally continues to amaze us with her energy and attitude. No one bothered to tell her she is very sick. We feel so lucky to know her and be loved by her.
