We have been home about an hour, it’s 9:42 p.m. We left the house this morning at 7 and we didn’t go shopping!

Bennett got sick in the car on the way to St. Louis from being nausea.

We had to wait awhile for the Dr. this morning; she thought he was doing good. They did a CBC test. His ANC dropped to 570. Also, His platelets were low at 38. Normal range is 140-440. He had to receive a blood transfusion before he could receive his chemo.

He got the chemo drug called Vincristine in his port and than got PEG-asparagin in his leg muscles. The medicine hurts more than the actual shots he says.

We left the hospital at 4:00 and was stuck in traffic for 1 1/2 hours before we even got to union station. Bennett’s hands and feet became tingly and itchy. This is a side effect from the vincristine.
We stopped at Fairview Heights and ate since Bennett only had a bowl of cereal for the day.  Bennett noticed a rash developing on his arm before we ate and after we ate the rash was also on his knees. We called the doctor and waited for a call back as we kept driving home.

At Nashville, our car started smoking. We stopped and it was leaking oil. We stopped at Mt Vernon put 3 quarts of oil in and also at Whittington and put in 3 more quarts. OH my, What Fun!

After we got home as we kissed the pavement, his rashes were gone and so was the tingling in his arms and legs.

Through all of this, we had a Great Day! We were blessed in visiting with Brittani!
