Some more time at home











We went into the hospital today to be admitted for our 5 day chemo round and Payton’s platelet counts still were not high enough. We are really frustrated since this will put us 2 weeks behind schedule. It looks like every time he gets a 5 day round it will put us behind. Given that it looks as though we will be first part of March finishing up instead of January. We are to go back on Monday to see if his counts are high enough to start then. It will put us in the hospital over Thanksgiving, but we need to do what is necessary to finish.

Payton had to be poked a lot today, so I know that he was ready to come home. We did accomplish Payton’s GFR which tells us how his one kidney is functioning; we should get the results on Monday. We are anxious to finish and have great faith that Payton will get through this and be cancer free. Payton was thrilled to tell us that he got his noodle out.

I am glad to finally able to get to this blog. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our kids pray for Payton at the least opportunity, and I too pray that the prayer of the faithful will avail much.
