Grants Pass, Ore.– 7-year-old Allison Johnson got quite the tasty Olive Garden surprise Wednesday, NBC5 was with Jason and Ashley from Q 100.3 when it all happened.
“Hi how are you? Is your mom home?”
Allison said she’s excited not just to eat her pasta dinner but to be back in her Grants Pass home.
“The first thing when I woke up the day we were going to drive home I said, ‘we’re going home!'” said Johnson.
Allison was diagnosed with stage 2 Ewing Sarcoma in November of last year. Since then she had been receiving treatment at St. Judes in Memphis, Tennessee.
“It’s been rough since this time last year us being here them being there that not home,” said dad, Richard Johnson.
But Wednesday they were all back together. Little Allison came home one day before Halloween.
