April 20th update
Bennett’s home! Boy was it weird not having him around. We all missed him. Thank goodness for cell phones. He had a great time at the baseball tournament in Murray, KY this weekend. He enjoyed going and watching his friends play. They got to hang out at the hotel some and swim. I’m sure it was like a vacation for him. It was so good for him to finally get out of the house. Maybe this time next year he will be able to play on this traveling team.
His last dose of steroids was on Saturday. Yeah! He took nine pills a day for five days. Plus he was taking Pepcid to help with the heartburn twice a day. It is some better. He doesn’t have to take them again for three weeks. He takes the chemo 6mp every night. It is supposed to be taken at bedtime on an empty stomach. He can’t drink milk or citrus drinks with it.
He is going to school tomorrow. It’s been 2 1/2 months. I am sure he is anxious and nervous. I am praying that he fits right back in. I’m sure it will take some adjusting too but I know he will be fine.
He doesn’t get a blood test tomorrow. The Dr. wants it every other week so not till next Monday. It will be different not knowing where his counts are every week. They don’t expect any drastic change in his numbers so we have to trust that.
So happy for you to have a fun weekend with friends!! Good Luck in school today. Thinking about you—-Love ya
