Today Ally did well at the hospital. She did not eat much, but that has always been the case when fluids are running through her IV.

Ally has a team of 3 oncologists at the NH hospital. One of them stopped by today (not her primary oncologist) and said she thought Ally looked really good. Grammy and Grampa said they thought otherwise (as do Mommy and Daddy). The doctor then went on to say that other kiddos that have had this operation did not look as good as Ally does. That makes us feel pretty good; we thought Ally was doing poorly, but apparently she is the rock star we know she is....I should never have doubted.

Anyway, no specifics about puke...I am getting superstitious about specifics and caring bridge. Tonight we started her on a "gentler" formula through her tubie, hoping this will help. We also have a medication we could tell the doctors we want, but we are going to wait and see if this new formula works.

Ally asked to go to bed at 6:00 tonight. She is SO tired she doesn't even want a story. It will be nice when she does want to hear How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? again.
