Week 11

We completed another big round of chemo last week. The big rounds are all in-patient. Payton is doing well so far. We are 40 percent done with the big rounds hooray! We are so grateful that he is doing better since Savannah has started school and life feels and little more chaotic. We had Payton back into the clinic today for more chemo, vincristine which is just outpatient and to check his counts. His counts were fine. He still has not hit his nadir yet. We need to take him back into the clinic again at the end of the week to have his counts checked. Next week we have a CT scan lined up. We are praying that all this chemo and radiation has killed any cancer cells and that nothing will show up. Savannah is back in school and has been struggling a bit; although, every day seems to get a little better. I think that it is more a separation thing than anything. She has a hard time being away from her family. Poor girl has been through so much the past few months. We are grateful that Payton is doing well again this round and hope that we continue to do well. We are hoping for no unexpected hospital visits again this round.
We are so proud of Payton. He is so brave.
