Peyton had her CT scan yesterday. They found something on her brain. Not sure what it is, but they think it may be a collection of blast (leukemia) cells. The good news is that it is not interfering with her brain function and is in an easy spot, in terms of removal. The doctors think that removing it would be no problem at all, and she would fully recover within 3 days. The problem is that they are still concerned about how Peyton is fighting off the fungal infection. At around 1:30 pm today, she will go into the operating room, where they will debride the areas of infection again and will be able to tell whether or not the infection has spread, and whether or not her body is responding positively to the white blood cell transfusions she has been receiving. They will also check Peyton's bone marrow during the surgery and test it. This will give them a good idea of whether the white blood cell transfusions have been effective. So please continue to pray for little Peyton and for her amazing parents.
