September 18th update

Bennett got sick to his stomach today after breakfast on the way to St Louis. His appt went good. They gave him zofran before giving him his two different chemotherapy medications. He received an iv push of vincristine and iv drip of doxorubicin that takes about 30 minutes. The nurse agreed that steroids will elevate your white blood cells but the other counts should be accurate and they wanted to make sure he didn’t need a transfusion of blood.

He weighed 117 today. I was surprised it wasn’t more but he has been pretty activity so probably burning what he eats. I don’t think he is eating normal yet but is eating a lot more than he did a couple of weeks ago.

We go Monday morning again for a blood test at our local hospital and than back again in the clinic on Tuesday for the same chemo meds.

We stayed at the hospital awhile. We spent at least an extra hour visiting with Ryan that is still in the hospital. He still has a fever and just got out of ICU today. Please pray for him. We also had a surprise and ran into Steve and Brittani today at the hospital.

We were going to go to the mall after Bennett’s appt but he was ready to go home. It was already late afternoon and Bennett was really tired.
