August 13th- Chemo and Audiologist Appts..

Friday's appointments went great, just a long day. We were at Children's Hospital for 7 hours. Peyton did his chemotherapy first and then we met with an audiologist. Peyton passed his hearing test and the doctor said he could hear even the highest of pitches. That's good news! The doctor said she treats several kids who have experienced permanent hearing loss from chemotherapy and doesn't want this to be the case for Peyton. There are no guarantees though, so we'll have to monitor this on a very regular basis. She suggested we do the hearing tests on our weeks off from chemo (Peyton has 4 weeks of chemo on Fridays and then two weeks off) but we explained how far it is to drive to Denver, and how we will very much enjoy those 2 weeks off! We agreed to do the tests on the same day as his chemo treatments. We both know these will be long days for him, but it's better than driving back up there during one of those weeks off each month! Not sure how frequently he'll be tested. The doctor wanted time to consult with the oncologist first and then they'll let us know.
Peyton feels great! He said his stomach was hurting last night, but it was time for his nausea medication. No complaints after taking that...thank goodness! He seems to be doing well this morning. We are headed to the park soon! So far so good.....
He's very excited to get back into preschool and I'm excited for him! He loves preschool and being around the other kids! I just can't believe it's that time already. :)
