Yesterday Ally's doctor was a little amazed at how well Ally was handling the chemo. Toward the end of the 3rd hour of post hydration she stopped in the playroom where Auntie Kelly, Ally and I were (Thursday is not a Pediatric Clinic day, so there were no other kiddos there, so we were the only ones who got to use the playroom!). She was slightly surprised to see Ally still energetic and playing.

We brought a puke bucket in the car with us, but other than Ally being a cranker pants in the car (probably due to her 15 minutes of napping) she was fine.

This morning I gave her a dose of anti-vomit medicine. It is either working very well, or Ally is just not getting hit with side effects. She has not complained of a tummy ache or anything like that. She is eating well and we even went to the park this morning. She did ask to go up for her nap an hour before it usually is, so she is showing some signs of being tired, but hopefully this will be the only side effect we will see.

Next week we will get a blood draw to check her counts, please pray that they don't drop so low that she will need GCSF injections.

Happy Fourth of July!
