January 13th - Chemotherapy Treatment # 47

Today was a quick day and the end of another cycle for Peyton. He will have a week off with no treatment! He's been a little tired lately but not bad. I'm happy to report he's been very healthy this school year and I hope it will continue! The next cycle will involve an eye exam and possibly an MRI. We'll have to see what the doctors say.

January 6th - Chemotherapy Treatment #46

Today's treatment was fairly quick since last week was the long treatment day. It was a great week and Peyton felt really good! He's so very excited to get back to school. We have had a wonderful Christmas break. Charlie had a week off from work as well so we all enjoyed spending some quality time together. One more week of treatment and then Peyton gets a week off!
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch with Leroy and Darlene this week after treatment. Landon had been asking about them the last couple of weeks, but they went on a cruise for Christmas so we hadn't seen them in awhile! He really missed them and the time they share together. They make him feel so special. And like I've said, it allows us time to take care of Peyton on treatment days. We are blessed to have them in our lives!

December 30th - Chemotherapy Treatment #45

I'm happy to report we didn't have to head to Denver on December 23rd! The weather was terrible all over the state! We called the hospital and treatment was canceled. That meant we were home for Christmas Eve, Peyton felt great and we were all rested and relaxed for the first time in many weeks. Santa brought Peyton the stage he requested and he has been performing on it each day since!
Today's treatment day was a long one. It was the first day of the new treatment regimen. Peyton received both types of chemotherapy today. It took about 5 hours start to finish. He did amazing! Only some mild nausea; nothing the medicine couldn't handle. We are hoping for some good news this year and pray that in 2012 Peyton is able to finish chemo and these darn tumors go away, or at the least, stop growing! Either would be good news.....
