May 21st update

Bennett is doing pretty good. He was tired today and spent all day in bed watching T.V.  He slept most of the morning until I woke him up to unhook him from his fluids. He only ate a couple bites for lunch but did eat a good supper. He was complaining of his legs hurting him this afternoon and he took some pain medicine.

He went to Hamilton’s game this evening and warmed up with them. He was the 3rd base coach during the game. We won. I was glad to see that his legs stopped bothering him.

He is hooked back up this evening with a bag of fluids. He was disappointed when I reminded him that we had to hurry home after Hamilton’s game to get him hooked up so his fluids would be done when the home health nurse comes in the morning. He doesn’t like having to carry the bag of fluids and pump around with him. The nurse will come and draw blood for a CBC test and also a COMP test that will tell us what his creatinine level is.  Our prayer is that his ANC is good and that the creatinine level comes back normal!

I don’t know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day;

I don’t borrow from its sunshine, For it’s skies may turn to gray;

I don’t worry o’er the future, For I know what Jesus said,

And today I’ll walk beside Him, for He knows what is ahead.

Many things about tomorrow, I don’t seem to understand;

But I know who holds tomorrow, And I know who holds my hand.

    I pray Bennett is getting stronger every minute and will soon be able to enjoy his own ball games again. I also pray all of his counts will be much better tomorrow.
