May 18th update

Bennett is doing pretty good, actually he is doing great considering. He slept in this morning and than we went back out to the farm. We all fished and the boys rode the four wheeler around. Bennett finally caught a fish today, a bass.

When we got home, Bennett was exhausted. His leg was really bothering him, he said it felt numb. He took some pain medicine. He stayed in bed the rest of the afternoon. His baseball team had practice at 6 and he went out to the park just to say hi. He didn’t feel like staying. He has been back in bed this evening.

We leave in the morning at 6:30 am for Bennett to get the amphotericin antibiotic in the clinic. We hope it all goes well and we can come back home. If Bennett’s counts are high enough, I bet the Dr. will want to start his chemo on Tuesday. Than he will have the last dose of ampho on Wed.

We are curious of what his ANC is; I am assuming they will check tomorrow at the clinic so they will know if it’s high enough to start treatment. It would be great if it doubled again. With it low, he can’t be around a bunch of people especially indoors. So, it is very unlikely he will make it back to school before it gets out.

“The Lord is wonderfully good to those who wait for him, to those who seek for him.” Lamentations 3:25

    So glad to hear that you are back home. Sounds like a tough couple of weeks. Tyler is in clinic today as well. Hopefully today will be better for you both!

    Hugs!
