3:15 p.m. Dr. Shenoy thought Bennett looked good, she hasn’t seen him for about a month. She was on vacation when he did the last high dose. He gained 4 pounds since last Dr. appt (3 weeks ago). He weighs 120. This is the most he has weighed since he was diagnosed. He weighed 123 than. They have started the IV fluids checking his PH in his urine. Once it is at a certain level, they will begin the high dose methotrexate. This is Ju Li that visited Bennett in the clinic.

5:30 p.m. Bennett received an iv push of vincristine, (chemo), his anti-nausea medicine and started the high dose of methotrexate at 5:15. We had pizza delivered for lunch and he is eating macaroni and cheese for dinner. He is drinking good. The last few days he has liked dr. pepper.

9:00 p.m. Brittani and Steve came to visit Bennett bringing him a chicken leg, cob of corn and rolls. And his favorite cucumbers and vinegar. He asked me today if a brought some and I didn’t. Thanks Steve and Brittani! Bennett has been eating popsicles, we were told by one of the nurses last time to try this next time. That eating something cold while getting the methotrexate might keep from getting the mouth sores.  We hope it works!  The methotrexate will go in for the next 24 hours finishing at 5:15 p.m. tomorrow night.  We have a room mate that came like 30 seconds after Bennett got in the room. He is a sweet boy, I feel sorry for him, he doesn’t have any family with him.
