Thank goodness Peyton's favorite nurse Amy was back! Treatment always goes smoothly when she's around. After informing her that she can't have Fridays off, he hugged her and told her he's "here every Friday so she can't leave anymore!" When a sweet four-year old is telling you that, with sincerity in his eyes, you can't help but adhere to his requests! Ha! Ha! She assured him she will try and find another day off next time!!! Everything went great and we are happy to report he's been feeling really great lately. He also looks wonderful. For awhile the color in his face was gray and ashy looking but that's passed and he looks and feels awesome. We are so blessed!
One more week and we'll be on a 2 week break. Good timing since our spring break falls in there. Whew hoooooooo!!!!!!!

March 11th - Chemotherapy Treatment # 22
What a great weekend we had! Peyton's treatment went really well. I guess the only minor incident want his favorite nurse, Amy, wasn't there! You must know, for Peyton this is a BIG deal. Amy is his absolute favorite and no one can possibly do things the way she can. We did however manage to come through treatment ok, but he really really doesn't like the days she's gone! For all of you that know Peyton, you know he likes routine and consistency in his life. When things change the slightest bit he gets really thrown off! I do however think that a bit of variance in his life can be good!!!! Love him.......
On Saturday March 12th we walked in the Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade. We had alot of fun getting to know other families and kids in the NF world. We were all representing the Children's Tumor Foundation. It was a beautiful day and Peyton really enjoyed handing out candy! What a huge parade! We heard estimates of 200,000 to 250,000 people lined the streets to watch the parade. It's the largest parade west of the Mississippi River. We were honored to get to participate. After the parade we all went and had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory. We enjoyed meeting new people and sharing in wonderful conversations with other families affected by NF. We met some new friends that will hopefully become life long connections.
We didn't get home until Sunday night so we were very tired starting out the new week but it was worth it!

March 4th - Chemotherapy Treatment #21
We are officially to the halfway mark with Peyton's treatment! Time is going by so quickly. Maybe because we are super busy. All went well last week. Besides Landon being sick the whole weekend with strep throat, things were pretty uneventful. I'm happy to report he's feeling much better now that he's been on antibiotics for a few days. We are so thankful Peyton has managed to stay healthy through all of this! He's a super strong kid.
We are going to participate in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Denver this weekend. Peyton loves parades and is very excited!! Every year the Children's Tumor Foundation has a group of people walking and we are so happy to join them this year.
