We had a very long day at the hospital on Friday: 7 hours to be exact. Peyton woke up sick on Friday morning. We had spent the night (Thursday) in Colorado Springs due to the roads being really bad on the drive up. So thankfully we didn't have far to go with him being so sick. He kept telling us he felt like he was going to throw up. We made it to the 9:15 eye appointment and things went well. We had given him Zofran (anti-nausea medicine) so that helped a bit I think. His eye doctor did prescribe reading glasses for Peyton. We were excited about this because he'll finally be able to see better up close while reading and working on his preschool work! Unfortunately, the doctor also told us Peyton has a cataract on one eye. However, he didn't seem too worried about it at this point. He said we'll continue to watch it every 2-3 months and hopefully Peyton won't have problems with this until he's much older. ? I still don't know what to think. Guess we'll just monitor it and hope, like the doctor, it doesn't create more problems for him anytime soon. It still saddens me to be honest!! Darn it!!
After the eye appointment we headed up for chemotherapy. He really started feeling sick again and by the time they were connecting his IV he'd had enough. He threw up all over himself, the nurse and the floor. The upside was he felt much better and slept solidly for 4 hours. That really seemed to help him more than anything. He awoke feeling much better. Poor little guy!!
One more week to go and then break time!!! Yay!
