Payton's 3 1/2 Year After Treatment Scans and Checkup
Payton's scans were on 8/22/11. I am slow getting caught up on my posts.
Payton had his 3 ½ year after treatment scans and check-up at Cook’s. Payton is doing well at understanding what is going on now. He handled it so well when I told him that he couldn’t eat or drink anything. He has grown up so much and has become such a sweet little boy. Payton also had his Echo/EKG to test his heart.
After Payton’s scans and testing we headed over for his appointment with Dr. Bowman. I was a bit nervous when I arrived at the Hematology Oncology Clinic to receive Payton’s results. After arriving the lady at the front desk informed me that they had been waiting for us to arrive. In all of our times of going, I have never heard that. We were immediately taken back which never happens either. Dr. Bowman came into the room and informed us that he had decided to pick Payton to be on a Cook’s commercial with him that will air in Waco. They were going to film for the commercial in the next 30 minutes. What a surprise. I was relieved to hear that’s what the rush was about. Dr. Bowman informed us of the good news…all of Payton’s scans and testing showed up negative. He also gave us a letter from The Children’s Oncology Group talking about how Payton’s protocol had been closed. It hit me really hard when he expressed how lucky we are that Payton made it through this regimen with very minimal complications. It was another reminder that Payton’s life is in Heavenly Father’s hands and he is being watched over. I got all teary-eyed and it really has made me realize how blessed I am. Payton was so cute while filming for the Cook’s Commercial. It was really special to see him with Dr. Bowman the man that has helped us endure a lot over the past 4 ½ year. What a true blessing it has been to have him in our lives. I don’t take any clean scans for granted. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to raise my little guy and that he is doing so well. I wonder if this little guy will ever realize the amount of prayers that have been said on his behalf. With great news, I can face life again.
