Friday the 13th is all good!

Sorry I couldn't get on here yesterday...the site was undergoing maintenance.  Aly is continuing to do really well this round.  Two days down and one to go.  If she does fine with the last dose of chemo on Saturday morning, she will be coming home Saturday afternoon.  She has been giggling a lot.  It is so good to see that!  She's been so much more like the Aly we used to know.  She was having fun beating me in Uno today.  We actually were able to take a walk down to the hospital gift shop.  Monkeys must be popular because they had a huge selection of different kinds and sizes of monkeys.  She found 2 little Ty beanie monkeys.  One was a sock monkey and one was a little girl monkey with eyelashes and a cute purple flower on her head.  So her little monkey Tiny now has a girlfriend and another friend to play with (in addition to all the monkeys she's received as gifts!).
Before her surgery, to replace her stomach tube, the staff gave her two yellow socks which we turned into a shirt and skirt (which Kevin says is a kilt because Tiny is a boy) for Tiny.  So he now has the blue bootie hat and a yellow outfit.
Aly no longer has the tube that hangs out and drapes all the way across her stomach.  She now has a "button", which Kevin was teasing her about, because it looks like a valve on an inflatable.  He said that may be useful when she swims.  Air could be pumped in so she could float!  :)
Aly also met her fellow swimmer Maddie today.  Hopefully, as they get to know each other, they will have a lot to talk about.  We found out that Maddie has been having food cravings just like Aly.  Yesterday and today, Aly has been wanting bacon.  She's been ordering bacon sandwiches (BLT without L & T) for dinner last night, and lunch today.  For breakfast she just had plain strips of bacon!  The other things she's been wanting is chocolate and chewy, gummy candy.  Nice diet, right?  Good thing she needs as many calories as she can get right now.
The child life program, at the hospital, offered us 4 Twin's tickets, from the Miracles of Mitch Foundation, for the Sunday afternoon game, so our goal is to be at the game and nowhere else!  We haven't been to the new stadium, so that should be awesome!  Is it supposed to warm up at all???
