What a busy weekend! I think we are still recovering from a wonderful, but crazy weekend. We took Peyton for his chemo on Friday. He was very anxious about his treatment this week. He actually started worrying about it on Thursday and saying he didn't want to go. I knew it was going to be rough because of having the prior 2 weeks off. He was really nervous by the time we got to the hospital on Friday. He cried quite a bit and it took a few of us to hold his arms and legs still, but we got the IV going and then he was fine. The doctors are really patient and do a wonderful job of trying to make him comfortable. The numbing cream we put over the port helps him not to feel anything, but the feeling of pressure gets to him and makes him uneasy. I understand that! He then went and did some activities with other patients (kids) and played games with the Creative Arts therapist on duty. She's wonderful and the kids love her! As I've said Children's Hospital is the best! Landon usually hangs out in the playroom and enjoys all the toys and books.
Peyton did really great with treatment this week. No side effects! Yay!
The Rally 4 Peyton Benefit was on Saturday so we drove home after Peyton was finished with chemo. We were up bright and early Saturday morning for the 5K walk honoring Peyton. It was a beautiful day and lots of people came. Estimates have been between 200-240 walkers! That's amazing! Later that night there was a wonderful dinner and auction to wrap up the day. Not sure how many people were there; I'll post a count as soon as I hear. I can say this...there were ALOT of people and we all had a great time! What an awesome community this is! So many people worked hard to put the Benefit together and we are very thankful for that! We'll never forget that day.
I love you, Peyton Shay!
