March 28th update
Traffic was pretty busy today around the river. We arrived at SLCH at 8:15 a.m. The nurse had trouble accessing Bennett’s port to do a blood test to verify his blood counts. Sometimes the port gets a blood clot in it, she added some medicine into the port to clear the line. This delayed the transfusion by an hour. Also, things were moving slow today in the blood bank, it took another hour to just get the blood that they need to transfuse.  We were able to begin transfusion of 2 units of red blood cells around 10:30. His body accepted the blood, no side effects have occurred. We left the hospital around 3:00.
We go back to SLCH on Monday to get a blood test to check his counts again. We are waiting for his ANC to reach 750. Currently today it is at 168. His ANC has to be at 750 before we begin the next phase of chemo therapy which they want to begin on Tuesday.
Thank you for your uplifting prayers.
Just letting you know we are offering up constant prayers that Bennett’s counts will go up and this next phase of chemo can begin.

Congratulations on your award of COURAGE…!!We loved watching your video message to the Coaches and team. We know you’re not feeling very good. Glad that your body is agreeing to the transfusions–it does make you feel a little better, doesn’t it? We will continue to pray that your counts keep climbing and that you can get back on treatment next week. Our love and hugs to you—-

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
Psalm 18:30-32
Nanette, you made my day, I never expected you to leave a message for us! You don’t know how happy that makes me! You are such a special nurse to us! You were the Rock that held me together while Bennett was in the hospital.
I appreciate you reaching out to us as a friend and not just our medical team! You are a blessing from God!
Thanks for the inspiring scriptures, God is doing Great work in you.
P.S. If you are working Monday, we’ll look you up! We’ll be in the lab but we will come up to 9West. If counts are good enough, we will be in the clinic on Tuesday for 1st day of chemo in the 2nd phase.
