Ally declared, "Ally not sleep tonight" after I left the hospital last night. It was after 9:30 before she finally fell asleep. She slept well until 3:00, when the vomiting began. She got some meds for that pretty quickly, but the puking did not stop. She was off and on for a while, until we could give her other meds. The second dose has done the trick. Ally is happily playing on her bed (coloring, Candy Land, books, and kitchen stuff...as I type Daddy is building a fort). She has not eaten since Thursday night. The doctor said she expected as much. We are expecting her to lose weight (Ally, not the doctor). Ally has 2 days of the yucky 6 hour chemo, and after that her appetite may pick up, or it may not. They are able to push the chemo up 2 hours today, so it should be starting around 11:30. That will run until 5:30, when she will get the other chemo. Tomorrow she will just get the second chemo, which they will be able to move up 4 hours, to 1:30, and then on Monday they will be able to run it in the morning, helping Ally get out of the hospital before it turns dark. (Hopefully)
If we can keep the puking under control it looks like it will not be too bad of a day...we were hoping to leave the room at some point, but Ally is hooked up to 2 IV poles, and doesn't seem to want to get off the bed, so it might not happen.
Here is to a good day!
