Quick Updates

Hi! Here's more quick updates! Nathan's first set of scans have been scheduled for Monday, May 17th. He's getting a CT Scan, a MRI, and a chest scan to see how this tumor is responding to all of his treatment. We won't get the results until the 18th or 19th. I'm so excited to see how the cancer has responded, just looking at him it's really obvious the tumor has shrunk but we do know it was bigger than what we could see anyhow so it'll be interesting to see what's going on.

Nathan had chemo on Thursday and he did fantastic, he was actually in a pretty good mood the entire time and had a TON of energy. He'd been hospitalized the week before with a fever and he was given another blood transfusion before he was released and since he'd gone two weeks without chemo due to horrible mouth sores, his blood counts were excellent. The doctors even said they were probably better than ours and it showed, he had so much energy and so far he's still been feeling pretty good. We walked around the block twice yesterday in the morning and he didn't seem tired at all and it felt great to be outside enjoying the sunshine! Oh and remember how I said we have to administer a shot in his leg. Well now it doesn't take two of us to do it. Nathan just hops right up on a chair and takes it like a pro!

Little Miss Peyton is also doing very well! She got to spend a week with Grandma and Granddaddy while Nathan was in the hospital and she went to the park and had a great time. Her new thing is asking where we're going when we're leaving. I wish I could write it the way she says it because it's the cutest thing. The first time she asked it she was sitting in her carseat and it just caught me off guard and I was wondering "did she really just say that?" Now she says it all the time and I haven't gotten tired of it yet;-)
