It's been since Christmas that I updated on Ally. A couple of days after I updated, Ally got very sick and started running a high fever which put her back in the hospital. She was hospitalized the entire month of January and ran a continuous fever of 101-105 for about 20 days straight. The doctors had her on some of the strongest antibiotics she had ever been on trying to fight off what had made her so sick which we still don't have an answer for. She ended up on 3 different ones and finally the third one they added started helping and her fevers started to drop. This is another one of those times that definitely had us in a lot of fear about what could happen but very thankful that God brought her through it. In mid February she officially started Maintenance which meant being in the hospital weekly was over. We now carry her 1-2 times a month for I-V chemo. She still has daily chemo pills at home but these are much easier on her than the infusions in the hospital. She has been doing much better of late we are very happy to say. Other than the normal leg pain associated with the chemo, she does very well. We have been gave an end date on the chemo of September of 2018 as long as Ally doesn't have anymore complications which of course we are very hopeful of. She got a new dog about a month ago that she named "Emma Jo" and she is absolutely in love with that dog. Sorry for the long time between updates. This has been the hardest year of our life but we are just thankful for each day we get to spend with Ally. We don't worry about the little things in life anymore and we try to smile as much as possible. Usually all it takes to make Ally happy is French fries and ketchup. We are sick of fast food but it makes her smile so we suffer through....haha. Thank you all so much for your support along the way and for keeping our Allybug in your prayers. We are forever grateful! God bless!
