October 1st - Chemo # 7

Whew Hooooo! One more week of treatment for Peyton and then we'll have 2 weekends at home! We can't wait! All went well last time. Again, some mild nausea but nothing too bad. At least there wasn't any throwing up. We met some new kids and families and heard their stories. It was nice to get to know some new friends. Everyone has a story, but the fact remains that these are great kids that are mature beyond their years because of what life has dealt them. All of them have such great attitudes! They are embracing life to the fullest extent! We can all learn lessons from them. We wish everyone the best with their upcoming surgeries and treatments!
I do want to brag on Peyton a little.....he's usually very scared when the nurses access his mediport. It typically involves a lot of screaming! Not because it hurts necessarily, but because he's scared! Understandable!! But this time he sat on my lap, held onto my hands, and didn't scream once! He sat still and let the nurses do what they had to do to get him set up!. Way to go, Peyton! I'm so proud of you!!! I love you, angel bug!!! Hopefully it will continue to get easier for him.
