Last week Ally started to get sick. There has been some throwing up, and a lot of diarrhea. The poor girl. We are not quite sure where this came from, as none of us that watch her are sick, and she really hasn't been anywhere lately. It looks like we are on the tail end of the sickness, and she is doing much better.

This is just in time for her to start Accutane again. Her first dose was on Tuesday. She takes it twice a day for 14 days, and then she gets 14 days off. Her skin is already peeling around her mouth and, her lips are cracked and bleeding a bit. Sadly, it is also messing with her bum. We have noticed a change in her mood as well. She is less tolerant of us being silly with her, and overall is just moody. Nothing we can't handle, and 97% of the time she is her normal self.

On Saturday Ally had her first soccer practice. Mostly she held onto Daddy's hand and watched the other kids play. We will try again next week. (There are only 6 sessions.)

Also on Saturday Ally helped Grammie and Grampa S. celebrate their 40th anniversary! It was a great day.

Tomorrow Ally has her first dance lesson. These lessons will go all the way to May or June (can't remember which).

Wednesday is Ally's first official day of preschool. She and Grammy M. spent an hour there last Friday to get to know the place, but Wednesday Ally will "go it alone" for 3 hours!

On Thursday Ally will have a HAMA draw, so we will have results on September 21st. We really want to get back to New York for another round of 3f8, please pray for a Negative HAMA.

We also have scans coming up the week of September 17th....Lots of prayers needed for clear scans!!!!
