Bennett is doing good.  He has caught up from being gone last week at school. He has enjoyed basketball practice everyday this week.  His legs are a little sore.   He was ready to get back practicing as he really enjoys playing basketball.  The players do a lot of drills, running and conditioning.  The coach told me  the other day that Bennett was keeping up with everything and hadn’t had to quit once.    We are so thankful that he is gaining his strength, speed, and stamina.

Bennett took his weekly methotrexate pills of a dose of 10 pills yesterday. His regular dose was 13 that he was taking weekly two months ago.  Last month he took 6 pills each week.   He is taking nightly 6mp chemo pills.  He takes 2 pills daily and 1 1/2 on Sunday’s which is a total of 13 1/2 pills.  Previously he was taking 9 1/2 pills.  He was taking 16 1/2 of the 6mp when he was taking the full dose when his counts really dropped.

We pray that the Dr.’s can get to a happy medium with the right amount of chemo he needs plus keep his ANC at a safe range.  We pray that the chemo he is taking will keep the leukemia from returning!

We went for our flu shots today.  Bennett cannot get the vaccination but his Dr. recommended everyone around him to get a flu shot. Hoping to keep it away and that he doesn’t come down with it.  I am concerned that he will get sick with all the virsus, colds and flu that comes with winter.  We pray that he stays healthy with no fevers or infections.
