Day 6, ANC!!!!

Payton sharing his banana with
Cindy, a Care Specialist@ Cooks. Payton has really learned to like Cindy. I kind of think Cindy feels the same about Payton.


Payton in his new Christmas PJ's pretending to talk to Grandma! Payton know's that he can't leave his room and pass the carpet, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like to test it.


Payton's ANC was 12 today; while not much, hopefully it means his neutrofils are on the rise. If they continue to go up, we may be able to go home in a few days. Until then, we sit here waiting for his counts to rise. Unfortunately for Payton, he continues to complain about his "bum bum" hurting. When his neutrifils increase, it should start to feel better.

I wanted to share a funny experience. On Wednesday night Payton awoke around 4:00 a.m. and our sweet nurse was changing his diaper. He awoke and said thank you nurse for changing my bum and then he proceeded to say nurse I’m going to push this button (referring to the nurses call button) and then he said nurse can I please have some milk. It was just really cute. I think that the nurses are learning what they have to do to win Payton over.

Today I was thinking about how grateful I am for sister's. I have two great sisters and I appreciate my Sister in Texas whom calls me everyday to check and see how things are going and all it takes is hearing her voice and it cheers me up. She has been so awesome to keep me staying positive through all of this, when it would have been so easy not to be. She has also been so good to run errands, babysit, christmas shop for me, visit, bring meals, and snacks etc. etc. I want her to know how much I love and appreciate her for being there for me over the past 6 months.

YOu are so sweet- I don't do nearly enough to help you but I do appreciate the props! I only do it because I adore you and your family and can't wait for the day that our little Payton runs free from Cook Children's!
