Bennett’s ANC today was 1,560 from 1,113!   Yeah!  His WBC was 2.4 with 65 neutrophils.  Hemoglobin is about the same at 11.4 from 11.3.  Platelets dropped to 92 from 119; 2 weeks ago they were 161.  We are not sure why they are dropping so much.  Platelets are what make your blood clot and keep you from bruising.  We are praying that his platelets don’t continue to drop and cause really low numbers; keeping him from baseball and other activities.

Bennett’s baseball team played tonight in McLeansboro.  We won 17 to 4 in 5 innings!!  Bennett was 1 of 3 with a single and walk.  He had 2 stolen bases with one of those being home.  He played center field catching a pop up and had 2 grounders.  The team was really pumped and played Great!  Go Rangers!

When I got to the game, Bennett was complaining about his knee hurting.  He said it hurt to walk and when he pushed on it.  I gave him some pain medicine and it helped because he made it through out the game running in the field and around the bases.  We are going to mention it to his Dr. tomorrow.  He doesn’t recall doing anything to it.  It’s not swollen or does not have a bruise on it.  We pray that nothing is wrong with his knee.
