Alisha's family is very thankful and appreciative for the of the outpouring of support, prayers, and gifts, as well as the offers to prepare meals, run errands, pick up school work for Alisha, and help in taking care of Ashley.

Today a social worker came by with some order forms for a wig for Alisha. Since Alisha does not know about the hair loss side effect. Amy picked out a wig and cap for her. Depending on her preference Alisha's wig can be made from either her own hair or that of her Mom's.

There have been several individuals who have volunteered to shave there hair when Alisha starts to lose hers.

Alisha was told by the Oncologist that if she does not start walking she will have to remain in the hospital. Her wheel chair will be taken away tomorrow (Friday September 11, 2009).

Alisha does have some stomach distension due from the steroid Decadron.

She received a transfusion of another bag of blood platelets to ensure a count of over 75,000 is reached before the second round of chemo and procedures.
