Here is a picture of Ally’s pump...the little syringe, up in the corner is her 3f8.


Unjinx....(just because we are still at the hospital and I don't want to mess up a good thing)

Today was better. 20 minutes of pain, and no oxygen needed yet!

Ally never really snapped out of it last night, we are hoping she will tonight. We did manage to get her down to dinner, but she ate only a few bites of salad and brownie.

It is really nice to have both of us down here for this round. This is Ally's 5th round and our first time as a family in NYC since her surgery in January 2009. Everything is easier with both of us here.

We get a new roommate each day. The first day was an older (teenage) patient who was getting chemo I think. Yesterday we had a super cutie who was getting the new humanized 3f8. This little girl and her mom popped over to our side to give us some hand sewn bags to put Ally's ice packs in, so they are softer up against her. They are super cute. Today we have another cutie pie getting regular 3f8.

That's all for now....what a strange feeling, to be in a better mood because my kid only had 20 minutes of intense pain today....cancer treatment sucks.
