We had a round of major dental work done at Stanford yesterday in preparation for the 5 straight weeks of radiation starting 12/10/14. Hayden did awesome through the surgery and recovery at Stanford and was very happy to be home last night. The last two days have been better for him as far as the stomach pains and lack of appetite...using less prescription drugs by over 80% and the results have been remarkable. We continue to remind him about his water intake and how important it is throughout his treatment and beyond for his health. He's continued to be a true warrior, never complaining unless in pain and jumping through every hoop the doctors have put in front of him without question. I thank The Lord every day for such awesome kids and for giving Hayden such a peaceful loving demeanor and great positive attitude about this whole ordeal. A friend recently told me that throughout this year I would be amazed at how well my son would handle everything...... It's been 5 weeks since starting chemo and I'm already in awe of my son with what he's been through. HE has now become my hero...not just my son Love you buddy! Dad
