September 12th update
Bennett slept in today; probably the last time for awhile! School days begin tomorrow! The school has been very helpful and with patience a decision has come to an end. Bennett will start 7th grade tomorrow and will attend classes. He will go to school as much as he can. It will depend on his ANC and of how he is feeling of course. I don’t expect that the chemotherapy that he gets in the next couple of weeks will lower his ANC too much nor should it cause too much nausea. Possibly next month or so that his ANC will drop and he may see some times where he doesn’t feel as well. This is all a guess as I am going by the last time he had these similiar drugs. We are grateful if he can enjoy some normal kid activity for a few days!
I do know that Bennett is pretty determined and he has been pushing himself. He has really looked at the positive things out of his life and is enjoying each day to the best he can.
I have noticed a confidence that Bennett has had for the last several weeks and I think that will only continue through his school work this year.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven… a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted… a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
Have fun in school Bennett!
We are all so PROUD of YOU! Stay strong, always do your Best, and you can accomplish anything! Love ya
Wow, I happy to hear the school situation was favorably resolved. I know your new found determination in life will carry over to you school work. You have learned that you CAN achieve whatever you’re determined to do. A great motto to live by. We pray that your ANC count stays up so you can enjoy a more “normal” teenager’s life for a while.
