July 28th update
9:00 a.m. Bennett’s methotrexate level went down to .51. This is good news, I was starting to get concerned and so were the nurses/Dr. The creatinine level went from 1.1 to 1.0, I am so thankful it didn’t go up, this could be very serious. His temp is good this morning. He has been sleeping. Next draw is around 4:15. Congrats to Hamilton/team for winning the game last night, they play again tonight in the DuQuoin tourney.
6:00 p.m. Thank you God for answering our prayers! His methotrexate level is going down! Last night, I was very nervous that it wasn’t going to and they were going to have to take emergency measures to get it to go down. His methotrexate level is .29 now. The creatinine level is still at 1.0. Bennett’s mouth is bothering him and it is sore to swallow. They have given him the “magic wash” which is 3 antiobitics that he swishes in his mouth and swallows it . We are hoping and praying that he makes the .10 mark so we can come home. Today marks the 5th day in the hospital.
10:00 p.m. What a great day for baseball! The Cardinals and Hamilton’s team won both of their games today! Hamilton’s team plays for the championship tomorrow at 4 in DuQuoin. I sure hope we are discharged so we can go. Bennett and I watched the Cards games today. He would sleep off and on. He didn’t feel like getting up though. His mouth really bothers him so he isn’t talking much. He is using his own sign language for us to communicate. Next level draw is at 4:15 a.m.
As I was looking for a scripture, I ran across this one that our pastor gave his sermon on Sunday.
“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
You know that Bennett is always in our prayers!! We pray that levels go down and you guys get to come home. We have been busy this week with Chad and Dawn’s reception stuff. We are a call away if you need anything!!
Love you guys!
Marya, Denny, Cody and Peyton
