We are back from the doctor's visit. Our plan has changed....we shouldn't be surprised by this, but it did catch us off guard a bit.
Our new plan: Ally will get a round of chemo where she will need to be admitted to the hospital. She will then have another surgery. If those go well she will have another round of chemo followed by the antibody therapy.
Positives:
1. The chemo can happen at our local medical center and will last about a week.
2. The surgeon (In NYC) is world renown.
3. The antibody therapy requires us to be in NYC for only 1 week, instead of 2, like we previously thought.
Sad note:
Ally is going to lose her hair again. Grrrrrr. We will be on the lookout for some cute winter hats.

Ally is not a fan of the city. While we were out walking this morning she wanted to be carried and was holding on very tightly. I am sure by Saturday she will not want to leave...until we remind her of her playhouse.

Tomorrow Ally has a CT scan and an MIBG injection. On Friday she has an MIBG scan and a bone marrow biopsy.

Thanks for all your well wishes...
Bagels and pizza are tasty in New York!
