April 20th, 2012 - Chemotherapy Treatment #53

Once again Peyton was sick during treatment. Doctors have tried giving him medicine before the chemo starts but so far the combination hasn't worked. About half an hour into treatment he starts feeling really yucky. The last couple of times they have just given him Benadryl and that will make him tired. He typically sleeps through the rest of treatment and then we wake him up when it's over. By late Friday evening he's usually feeling better. Sometimes he still feels sick on Saturdays, but after that his days are great! We just get through those rough hours and then it's smooth sailing. Peyton turned 6 on April 18th! WOW! My little boy is growing so fast! I can't believe it! We had a birthday party on Saturday night in Denver. He requested a Chuck E. Cheese celebration so we invited our family and friends to help us celebrate up there. We had lots of fun and the boys really enjoyed themselves. It was a birthday to remember for sure. Treatment days are now every other Friday. I sure do like this new schedule because it feels like we get to be home more. We are home this weekend and I'm sooo excited!!
