Unfortunately, no real good news today. Peyton is now getting the bulk of her nutrition through the feeding tube. Unfortunately, she spent a good part of yesterday throwing up. As I had written in an earlier post, Peyton's spleen (which had been enlarged) is nice and small now, but her liver remains enlarged. Her bilirubin levels are still really high because her liver isn't functioning as well as it should be. Until her liver is up to par, the doctors have no choice but to hold off on chemo. This has Krissy and Dru worried. Please pray that her liver function improves so that she can start with treatments again.

Peyton is also still on the oxygen (due to the fluid that has been in her lungs) and continues to battle with that staph infection (which is in her surgical wound sites). Overall, it has been a rough few days so we really hope that things can turn around and fast.

Krissy and Dru are at the hospital today. Not sure, but I think my dad might be there too. He and my mom have been spending a lot of time between the hospital and Krissy and Dru's house. Today, Mom had to stay back because she woke up with a cold. Mike and I also were unable to go because Emily and Abby both are sick with colds, and Emily's been having some side effects from seven immunizations that she had on Thursday as part of her 5 year physical (on and off low grade fevers, etc). None of us can chance bringing any germs to Peyton...but it's so hard when you want to be there for her and for Krissy and Dru.
