We are off to NYC in the morning. Our train leaves Boston around 9:30. We are leaving our house early on account of the snow.

It looks like Monday and Tuesday are going to be busy days at the hospital. I will try to update when I can. We do have internet at the Ronald McDonald House, but not all the time.

Ally is super excited to go back to NYC. We are bringing the camera, so I hope to be able to post some pictures after a few days.

Wish us luck!

FUN NOTE: We took Ally to the park today to play in the snow. After falling several times and getting her face covered in snow she was ready to go home and sit by the heater to warm up. It was a blast!



Background Story
On February 11, 2008 Ally was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.

She underwent 6 rounds of chemo and a 9 hour surgery at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

She then moved on to Children's Hospital Boston for Chemo 7, Stem Cell Transplant #1, Chemo 8 and Stem Cell Transplant #2. She rocked them both! 29 days for her first transplant and 26 days for her second.

Ally got radiation to help her fight the cancer off.

Ally then took accutane for 3 months to help keep the cancer away. It did not work.

Ally did "low dose" chemo for 10 months.

She has finished a round of high dose chemo.

In January of 2010 Ally will undergo surgery to remove more of her tumor.
