Allyson woke up bright and early today - not as early as yesterday, thankfully.  I believe we were out of bed by 6:30 this morning.  Allyson and I were able to get out of the house for a bit today, and that was nice.  She was such a good girl…I think she loved to be out and about.

The infusion nurse came this evening.  She had to double access Allyson’s port (she didn’t like that at all, but she let the nurse do it).  - The nurse came because Allyson has be to fully hydrated for this dose of chemo.  Right now, she is hooked up to a liter and a half bag full of IV fluid that is in a backpack.  She’ll be hooked up to that all weekend because she is going to receive medication through it all weekend.  The nurse will have to come out to the house Saturday and Sunday to check several things and change her IV bag when necessary.  (We will actually learn how to change the bag ourselves as well as learn how to use the pump.  It came pre-programmed this evening for Ally’s infusion.  -  So far, the IV backpack hasn’t seemed to bother Allyson.  Brad told her it was her rescue pack (like the one Diego has…Diego as in Dora and Diego), and she seemed to think that was cool.

Tomorrow we are off to the hospital (have to be there between 8:30 - 9:00) for a spinal tap and chemo.  Hopefully all will go well and we’ll be home early afternoon.   I’m tired and off to bed.
