Bennett is doing good. We are so thankful! He didn’t have blood work today. The Dr. indicated we could wait and have them checked in two weeks. It really makes sense not to have them checked today anyway. Since he has been on steroids, his ANC would be elevated not giving us a true count. And his hemoglobin and platelets have been good high numbers so we wouldn’t expect them to drop that quickly.

The boys are counting down the days until Christmas Day. It’s hard to believe it’s already here.

Bennett said today that it already seems like he has been out of school a week and it’s only been 3 days. He has had open gym basketball practice today and tomorrow.

We are looking forward to going to the Bragging Rights basketball game tomorrow night against Missouri and Fighting Illini in St. Louis. We pray for safe travels and no bad weather.

We continue to pray for all our friends from SLCH and their families. We pray that everyone stays healthy and out of the hospital during the holidays.

Hope everyone is able to stay warm in these freezing temps.
