December 16th update
Bennett’s appt went well today. He received an iv push of vincristine through his port, preventive pneuomia breathing treatment and saw the Dr. Bennett didn’t have any complaints or problems so it all went well. She told him to drink as much as he can especially on the days he takes the methotrexate pills to flush the chemo out of his body.
He is staying on the same dosage of chemo that he was previously on so he took 10 pills of methotrexate today. He also starting taking steroids twice a day for five days now. besides his daily 6mp chemo.
We made it to and from the hospital without any problems. St. Louis had some ice and a little snow but the roads weren’t too bad.
Bennett weighed 130 today gaining 6 pounds from last month so we were glad he was back to his normal weight.
Bennett’s basketball game was canceled tonight because of the weather. Hamilton was glad so Bennett and I didn’t have to hurry to the game. He’s always thinking.
It was weird and sad today of not seeing and visiting with Ryan and his Mom/Dad at the hospital. He is happier and healthier now but it’s hard on everyone that misses him.
“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them, intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.” 1 Timothy 2:1
Bennett,
Good counts and a safe trip to St Louis, sounds like a good week. Too bad the ballgame was cancelled, but probably for the best. We are glad that your counts are good and pray for you daily.
