Peyton had a revision surgery today on her amputated leg. They had to restructure the muscles and tissue and ended up having to remove about 2 more inches of her femur bone. Unfortunately this is pretty normal for amputees, although it's a bit sooner than anticipated due to so much weight loss after her latest battle with Ewings in her lung. Thankfully the chemo worked and the lung node responded very well to radiation and chemo. Peyton will continue chemo in about 3 weeks and she'll be able to start the process for a new prosthesis in about 6 weeks- hopefully having her new prosthesis done by sometime in April. Surgery today went very well. Unfortunately pain management was challenging at the beginning and they were chasing the pain instead of being ahead of it from the get go. It was really hard to watch her in pain when she has already endured so much. She's doing well now and she's happy to be recovering on the peds oncology floor with her fav nurses. They took control quickly and came up with a plan and it worked well. Peyt will be here at sacred heart children's hospital for about 3-4 days. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and sent messages, meal delivery vouchers and thank you for the prayers.
