Treatment is over! The pain patch kicked in fully today. Ally only had about 20 minutes of pain, then 20 minutes of fitful sleep, then she settled down for some good sleep. She even "snapped out of it" earlier today.

The weather has been so nice that yesterday and today Daddy and Ally went to a nearby park. Yesterday it was not so busy, but today it was packed. Ally was a little hesitant to play today, but at one point a little girl came over and the 2 of them played together nicely. On the way home today Daddy was going to grab some dinner at a diner, but just up the street was a pizza place and Ally insisted they go there instead. She ate about 1/2 the cheese off a slice of pizza (that is actually REALLY good eating for her).
Her next round of 3f8 is scheduled for the week of April 12.

Tomorrow I get to hold, hug and kiss Ally (and Daddy). I miss them both so much! They pull into South Station around 1:00.....I hope I can make it, it has been a long week without them. Luckily 2 of my students have been all about the hugs this week! If they only knew how good their hugs made me feel!

Happy first day of Spring!!!
