Bennett is doing great! He has had a good time at school and so happy to be back these last three days. Last night, he took his 13 methotrexate pills besides his 6mp chemo. So far today, he hasn’t seemed affected in anyway by taking them. Wouldn’t that be great news?

Bennett cannot swallow pills; only capsules. So everyone of his chemo and steroids, I put in an empty clear capsule. The one good thing is that these 13 pills can be put in 3 capsules. Well, they are bigger capsules. He likes this much better. We put all of his medicines in a capsule because he can’t stand that chalky taste. A little more work but it’s worth it to keep them down.

He had baseball practice today after school. He did good. I have to brag on a catch he made. He was on third base and the ball went over his head. He jumped up, raised his arm up and caught it. It happened so fast and before I knew it, I was yelling, Whoo Hoo!

He ran some with the team tonight. They do sprints to first base plus run around the field a time or two. I told him not to run but of course, he did some. He got hit in the sheen tonight with a fast grounder. So far he hasn’t said that is bothering him but the seems of the ball left an imprint on his leg. When it happened you couldn’t even tell by his expression that he got hit. He really needed that actually. Sounds weird, I know but he has been a little scared of the ball. Now, he knows he can handle it. Unfortunately, it’s part of the game of baseball.

Sometimes in the car, he gets nervous or afraid if a car is too close by or turns in front of us. It’s like after you’ve been in an accident your a little jumpy. I believe he fears of getting hurt. And time will heal this.

Thank you for being a part of our support base. We appreciate the continued prayers!
