Yeah for 3 day weekends!

Ally has had a good week. Her counts were awesome today, so she will begin Chemo on Tuesday (with the holiday as a bonus day off).

Ally is enjoying the warm weather, she went for ice cream today and to the park, where the slides and swings were hot.

We have a nice weekend set up. Tomorrow we are going to visit friends, on Sunday we have lots of family coming to visit, and on Monday we have NO PLANS! A rare day to ourselves!

Have a great holiday weekend. We are hoping our camera shows up in the mail tomorrow!

Ally had a great day at DHMC today. Things ran smoothly and there were no issues with the pharmacy this time! She is normally there on Mondays and that is only an adult clinic day (they make an exception for her). Today, being Tuesday, the normal pediatric staff was there. Ally got lots of visitors! She is normally very shy with lots of people, but today she was quite chatty. Everyone was very excited to see her.

Originally she was supposed to get scans after this 2 week round of chemo, but the word today was they may push it off until late June or early July. They think she is doing so well she doesn't need the scans until then. Yippee!

Today Ally weighed in at over 21 pounds! This is the most she has ever weighed!

This past weekend was super awesome. We spent some time at the park, and Ally was licked (much to her dismay) by a super cute little doggie. She spent a lot of time on the swing and even went down the slide a couple of times. She also enjoyed Mommy and Daddy's ice cream.

Ally will get chemo at home for the rest of this week and all of next week.

Our camera is scheduled to arrive on the 28th. As soon as we figure it out and take some pics I will post some more.

Have a great week!
