December 15th update
Bennett’s ANC today was 1,792 from 1,311! Awesome! His WBC were 2.8 and neutrophils were 64. His hemoglobin was 11.7 and platelets at 175. We were thankful that his ANC was so good. It’s probably higher this week since he has only had 1/2 his dosage of the methotrexate pills for the last two weeks. His liver levels were back normal, Yeah!
He has an appt in St Louis to see the Dr. at 1:00. We pray the weather holds out and we have a safe trip. He is going to go to school in the morning so he will be eligible to play the basketball game that night. We will be making a flying trip there and than straight to the game in DuQuoin so we hope the roads are not slippery.
Bennett and Hamilton were talking tonight and they didn’t know I could hear them. I overheard Bennett asking Hamilton, if he had one wish, what would he wish for. Hamilton said for no madness; a Christian world. I thought that was pretty special especially since he didn’t say it in front of any adult trying to impress them. And than he added, anything else I want!
“Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.” Jeremiah 17:7
That is so great what Hamilton said. So glad Bennett is doing so well. We give God the thanks for that. Wouldn’t it be great if the whole world were Christians? What a different place the world would be. Hope you will have a safe trip today and tonight.
Hi Page’s—So glad to hear Bennett is doing so good. God is awesome and has blessed you with 2 great boys. Hamilton is growing up so fast and is wise beyond his years it seems to me. And Bennett is an inspiration to us all. Have a great Holiday Season and Merry Christmas to all . With Love, Aunt Lindy
