Peyton went back into the O.R. today. The surgeon debrided (scraped away) the fungal infection in Peyton's nose and removed some structures within her sinuses that were infected. The surgeon now believes that the infection is neither Mucor nor Candida, but rather Aspergillosis (caused by the mold Aspergillus). This is another type of fungal infection that, while aggressive like Mucor, is much slower-spreading, which is a good thing. The surgeon thinks he was able to remove all of the infected tissue today, but Peyton will be going back into surgery on Thursday to debride the area again, and to make sure that there is no newly infected tissue. Until then, we are waiting for the culture to officially come back, to officially identify the type of infection. We were all hoping it would come back by today, or tomorrow at the latest, but the doctors are now saying that the culture may never come back (as the mold doesn't always grow enough in a petri dish to get a culture). So, I might not have anything new to report between now and Thursday (the next surgery). All Peyton's chemo is on hold, and will continue to be on hold until the infection is resolved. So we just have to pray that the infection resolves quickly, so that Peyton can resume her cancer treatment as soon as possible.
