March 13th update
Our prayers were answered again with a good doctors appointment today at SLCH. Bennett had no temperature. He has lost 3 more pounds in a week. His color is good today and his spirits were high! I think he knows if he feels good, that we will eat good and try to do something fun! If you know Bennett, he is quite the shopper! This was a blessing as the last couple of days and night, he hasn’t felt good at all.
His blood cell counts were good today too, no transfusion needed. His counts were up a little from even Friday. Which we expected them to be down further. Dr. indicated that his bone marrow is making the good cells (WBC, RBC, and platelets) so these counts were up slightly. The chemo medicine will still kill off these good cells and the cancer cells. His count good be up or down the next time we go.
We go back to SLCH on Friday for another Dr. appt. to do a blood test and get another chemo treatment.
Thanks to everyone’s prayers; God is lifting Bennett up!
Below is a picture of Bennett waiting for the Dr. to come in and a picture of him at the St Louis Galleria Mall. This was Bennett’s first visit to the mall. We didn’t stay long as he became pretty tired. It was good for him to get out of bedroom.
