November 9th update

Bennett is doing good. He had a busy day. After church, him and Sid went looking for deer, he said they didn’t see any. He went to the movies tonight with us to see Madagascar, it was a cute.

They don’t have school tomorrow or Tuesday so he is looking forward to that. He does have a basketball game tomorrow night at West Frankfort. He is talking about wearing his ankle braces for the games and practice. He said at his practice Saturday that he fell again because his ankles gave out. I’m assuming the iv chemo he gets monthly is causing this but I will mention it to the Dr. at the next visit and see what she thinks.

We go to our local hospital in the morning to check counts. We pray that his ANC is higher than last week. Not a huge amount because we want the daily chemo pills to do their job too. It’s such a juggling act.

Bennett has been looking up quotes and he has picked out several of his favorites that I will post one daily -

“It’s not the disability that defines you, it’s how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. We have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability.” — Jim Abbott
