May 22nd update
Bennett has been about the same the last two days. He feels good for awhile and than has to rest for awhile. He wanted to go to school on Monday but just didn’t have enough energy to go.
Today, he has felt pretty good. The home health nurse came to give him his chemo and did a CBC test. We didn’t have to go to St Louis today because he only needed the chemo that the home health nurse administered last week. He will have to have this chemo 4 days in a row last week. He also is taking another chemo med at night by pill.
His RBC and platelets were good. His ANC is 1,273. The chemo he is on now elevates your white cell count so they say his ANC may not be exactly right.
He had Fun today, going to some friends houses and riding bikes. He went to Carbondale mall and hung out with Thomas while Sid and I ran errands this evening.
He hopes to go to school tomorrow and pick up his report card. He is looking forward to it.
He doesn’t have much of an appetite. He has learned to eat small portions more frequently if possible since his stomach is upset most of the time. He has learned to go on and not let this small complaint bother him.
Bennett—Hope you feel like going to school this morning so you can see everyone! You are such a strong young man, and getting stronger everyday. I am so proud of YOU! Love ya
Hey Bennett!
I was really glad to see you at school this morning. It sounds like you’ve been able to enjoy the beautiful weather with your friends this past week. That’s such a joy to hear!! I’m really gonna miss having you for math next year, so you’ll have to be sure to stop in and say hi every once in a while. Have a great summer and take it easy!!
