November 17th update

Bennett’s ANC today was 1,488 from 1,166! His WBC was 2.4 and neutrophils was 62.   His hemoglobin went up to 11.6 from 11.4 and platelets were up to 133 from 119.  We were glad to see his counts moving up a little; an answered prayer.   We will see what the Dr. will want to do with his dosage of chemo tomorrow.

Bennett had a great time duck hunting Saturday and Sunday morning.  They got a total of 15 ducks, some were ringnecks, bluebills, and shovelors.  He had to get up pretty earlier so he spent the rest of the day taking a nap.

We won the ball game Saturday night against Salem.  Bennett didn’t play very much but the short time he was in there, he had a good rebound.

Bennett is going to go to school a 1/2 day tomorrow so he is eligible to play in tomorrow nights game, than we will hurry to his appt in St. Louis at 1:00 and try to make it to the game in time in Harrisburg.   He wants to try so he isn’t missing the only game this week.

Bennett will need an iv push of vincristine, breathing treatment to prevent pneumonia, begin taking steroids twice a day for 5 days, take methotrexate pills besides his daily 6mp pills.

Thank you for checking in, your love, prayers, and support.
