Mike and I and my mom and dad were able to visit with Krissy, Dru and Peyton this weekend (on both Saturday and Today). On Saturday (yesterday) Peyton had her chemo at 4 am and a platelet transfusion at around 1 pm. She was having a bit of a rough day yesterday, as the chemo makes her belly sick. Peyton was nice and alert though, and we (the aunt and uncle) were able to hold her for a nice long time. This was great, as it was the first time that we were able to hold her. At around 4:30, she finally dozed off for a nap and we were able to convince Krissy and Dru to step out for a while to eat a meal. Krissy and Dru are having a rough time allowing themselves time to eat, so we have all been trying to encourage them with this, as they need to stay healthy for Peyton. They love their daughter so much, and it is clear just by looking at them what devoted and loving parents they are.

Today we went back again. When we arrived, we found out that Dru is at home sick today....Feel better soon, Dru. So Krissy was at the hospital solo today, as they can't risk bringing any germs into Peyton's room. Peyton was having a rough time earlier in the day, but the nurses increased her pain medication and she seemed much happier by the time we arrived. My mom, dad, Mike and I got to hold her for a nice, long time again today. And on a separate note.....thank you, Chris and Roseanne for cheering Krissy up a bit today. It really means a lot!
