Hayden's Great!

We had a visit with the Radiation Oncologist on Friday and he was impressed with how Hayden was doing. We reviewed the treatment plan for the treatments and looks like they have us slated for Hayden to have 43 treatments in all so, 3 more treatments than we thought. We are marking off the days on a calender so Hayden can see where we are and where we have come from. I asked about the mouth sores again because they say that they could happen around 3 to 4 wks in. He said let's not talk about that since he's doing so well so...we are pleased MAYBE they will not come and Hayden can soar through his treatments! We also saw the nutritionist and she was quite surprised at his appetite and he weighed in at a whopping 49 lbs!!! I have never seen him weigh that, whoohoo!!! =) She said that there was really no need to see her again unless things changed.
Enough about medical treatments....yesterday we went to the aquarium and and had a great time. Hayden did a lot of walking and did not really seem to tire! Thank you God! We watched the penguins and they were a lot of fun. We left there and walked to Faneuil Hall where we saw some street performers doing various things like dancing or magic tricks. We also saw Ben Franklin walking around and Hayden took a picture with him. We also ate lunch at a place there called Quincy's Market. This place has everything, lots of different vendors serving everything from pizza to seafood.
Well..I will close for now. Keep praying, they are being answered!

Christy, I think you should write a book for other parents of children with cancer. The power of prayer and hope that you all have is just absolutely contagious, and I think others would love to read about your family's journey. Glad to hear everything is going well, we will certainly keep praying for all of you, through the good and bad. ~C
