So today was the first day of a year long journey we are about to embark upon. Today Peyton had the mediport put in so that he can receive the chemotherapy each week. We arrived at the hospital at our scheduled time of 10:15 am. Surgery was scheduled for 12:00 but was delayed about an hour. By 1:00pm Peyton was very tired and hungry; he hadn't had anything to eat at that point in 15 hours. We were beginning to get a little anxious but shortly after 1:00 they came to get him. I was able to go in with him until he was completely asleep and then I left to wait with Charlie and Landon. The surgery took a little over an hour and then we moved into the recovery room with him. Everything seems to have went well. It was just a really long day. All total we ended up being there for 9 hours. The doctors, nurses and staff at Children's Hospital are sooo amazing! They take such great care of kids....
Tomorrow will be Peyton's first round of chemo. It will start at 1:00 and should last about 3 hours doctors say. I'm glad today is over.......we will all probably sleep well tonight.
