Bennett’s ANC is 1,113 from 1,416. His wbc dropped to 2.1 from 2.4 and neutrophils were 53 from 59. As long as we stay above 1,000, I don’t think we can ask for anything better. The Dr. really wants his ANC from 500 to 1,500. If his ANC stayed higher than that for several weeks, she would increase his chemo pills to get it back down. With school starting, this makes me nervous with more flu bugs and germs around as he is more susceptible of catching something.

His hemoblobin went up to 11.3 from 10.4. This is Great! Hemoglobin gives you oxygen helping you to breathe and endure more activity plus keep from getting so tired.  Bennett’s is still low as normal is 12.5 to 16.3.   Platelets went down to 119 from 161.

Tonight was the Jr. High first baseball game. We lost 0 to 12.   BUT Bennett had a ground rule double which means it bounced on the ground and went over the fence.  The fence in the outfield!   LOL    His ball went about 270 yards.    WOW!    This is his farthest hit in 2 years!!    His team only had 2 hits in the game and Bennett had one of them.  The 2nd time he was up to bat, he hit it to the 2nd baseman and got out at first.  He played the whole game in center field and caught a pop up.  We are so happy and proud of Bennett!!   His next baseball game is tomorrow night at home.

The boys register for school tomorrow morning. Their first full day of school is Wednesday. Bennett found out tonight who is in his home room. We are thankful a buddy or two is in there since he doesn’t know very many people in his grade.  He didn’t go enough last year with his new class mates to get to know them or their names very well.

We believe it’s going to be a great, memorable, fun, healthy school year! Thanking and praising our Lord of making this come true!
