We will all keep posting comments to help you pass the time and keep you company. Thursday night was incredible and I can understand why you may have a bit of the blues now. After such a high it is hard to be at the hospital for an extended stay yet again. We are thinking of you all. xxxxx ooooo.

I heard about the no children visitors rule, and i'm sure that does make it much more difficult. Remember, one day down, is one day less. Hang in there. The Army is still behind you all.jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14605002385931154192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251619644800354160.post-74566002682238585732009-10-03T09:44:40.849-04:002009-10-03T09:44:40.849-04:00I just have to say that Bryce, 2 as of 10/1, was s...I just have to say that Bryce, 2 as of 10/1, was saying 'hi Ally' as I pulled up your blog, and then got so excited to see elmo and cookie! He could barely speak for trying to say 'look mommy' at the three of them, so I guess Ally has reached super star status in our house! <br />Hate to think of you just sitting around all day, but hopefully it will give you time to go through all the mountains of pics from that magical night! I feel so privileged to have been a part of it. It truly was evidence of the good in people. You did an amazing job and should feel so proud of what you acomplished while going through something so traumatic. Ally will be blown away when she gets older to realize all that you put together in her honor. <br />It was so hard to leave you all, but a little easier in seeing all the loving friends you have around you, God bless you and them. <br />LOVE to you!kategrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222100112554286914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251619644800354160.post-84200787775796811322009-10-03T09:38:57.366-04:002009-10-03T09:38:57.366-04:00WE LOVE YOU ALLY!!! That says it all, and we love...WE LOVE YOU ALLY!!! That says it all, and we love your entire family. I just read the blog and can hardly type I am crying so hard. I know that your mom was watching and cheering and had the best seat in the house. John was watching too and he is so proud that you are all working so hard so this does not happen to another child. Janel, you are awesome and don't forget it. Friday was such a low after an incredible high on Thursday night!!!! It makes that hospital visit even more difficult. And the flu season cuts you off even more, but you can do this. Ally is winning this battle, her counts are good and she looks wonderful. What a smile that little girl has. Extra thoughts and prayers are with you during this treatment. I was very excited to see Elmo also.gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472196891694310240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251619644800354160.post-72244110497206698242009-10-03T08:41:41.167-04:002009-10-03T08:41:41.167-04:00Janel, I’m so proud of you, Jerad and all your fri...Janel, I’m so proud of you, Jerad and all your friends and family who helped out at Light the Night. What a night it was. I’m especially proud of Ally. What a big girl! She was like a rock star with so many people wanting a picture with her, to chat with her, or just to say hi. But she was so gracious and grown-up! Yet still full of childlike wonder. I could see that in her eyes. What a beauty.<br /><br />It was just an honor for me to bring my family and walk for Ally and that organization. All I wanted was to finally give you a hug – and I got do that twice! It’s so hard to be far away from you and feel unable to help, so this was a chance to do so in a small way.<br /><br />I was also glad to meet Nicki and Suzanne, Jerad’s mom and sisters, just some of the many wonderful folks who’ve been there for you guys. (Even lucky to grab two hugs from Nicki, what a sweetheart!)<br /><br />Your speech was awesome. When you talked about your mom having the best view, I lost it. But you are right. She was THERE. As she has been and always will be.<br /><br />As Mary Jane says, Ally continues to be in “our praise.” I hope the weekend has some bright spots, that Ally feels okay and that you get some sleep.

I know it's especially hard to sleep there and I was thinking about you and your girl.<br /><br />We wish we could come visit, and if for some reason you got the OK, we'd be there in minutes. Keep your chin up and give Ally a hug from us (especially Madison) We're praying she gets to come home Sunday!!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412576892777872842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251619644800354160.post-20365739921312442912009-10-02T22:04:07.919-04:002009-10-02T22:04:07.919-04:00Dear Sweet Janel,
