August 17th and 31st, 2012 -Chemotherapy Treatments 61 & 62

Peyton's treatments are fairly easy and uneventful lately. This is a wonderful new transition for us considering how rough the previous months have been for him. He breezes right through each treatment. Peyton and I have started school and he's loving kindergarten! He's so excited to be going to school all day instead of just 1/2 day like he did in preschool. I'm trying to get back into the work mode. After such a wonderful summer this is hard! It seems I have a great class though, so it makes it a bit easier. Landon is with a new sitter this year. She is a very nice lady and I think he's liking the chance to play with some kids his own age. (She watches 2 little girls that are both close to 3 years old.) Peyton did see an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. Turns out kids with NF often have a "shorter palate". Not sure what all that means just yet. I definitely want to do more research on this. To correct his speech issues Peyton will need a surgery. Again this is something that is on the table but we aren't feeling the need to rush into anything. We want to explore all our options and discuss this with more than one doctor. We have visited with his teachers and they can understand him on a very regular basis so I feel comfortable with that. I also want to consider doing this in the summer rather than having to miss school. He's doing so well I don't want to interrupt the progress he's making. We'll see. I'll keep everyone updated on any decisions we make.
