New treatment week #2 for Peyton. He definitely complained more this week of stomach issues than he did last week. We gave him Zofran to help with the nauseated feeling, but even that didn't often make it go away. Overall he just didn't feel like himself. He still wants to go on about his day as normal he just feels crummy. School has started and that's exciting for him. He doesn't want to miss a day. Not sure how this new treatment will go.....

August 19th - Chemotherapy Treatment #34
Today was Peyton's first treatment with the new chemotherapy. Things went off without a hitch. We discussed all the new side effects that go along with this drug. Hopefully he will continue to only be mildly affected. He did experience nausea for the first few days but as I've always said the medicine he takes for that is great. It sure helps him get through his days.
Peyton is excited for school! We have made the decision to keep him in preschool for another year and wait on kindergarten until next year. He's often really tired from just 1/2 day of preschool so I can't imagine how hard a full day of school would be for him. I think it's best not to rush things.
I'll be returning to work soon too. I have mixed emotions about that. Of course it's always hard to leave my boys after spending all summer with them. On the other hand, I love my job! It's a great job to have as a working mother and I always get so attached to the kids in my classroom. Ahhhhh......it will all work out. It's just things get so crazy when we start back to school
July 15th - No Chemotherapy
Peyton had an eye appointment but no chemotherapy today. His doctors decided to wait until we returned from vacation in August to start his new therapy. We were excited to hear the news that Peyton will not have another treatment until August 19th! We were so excited to not have to make the weekly trips to Denver, that we drove back to Alamosa right after his eye appointment!
All went great with that checkup! No new changes to report . Thank goodness!
