March 23rd update

Bennett is doing good. His ANC today was 969. A big drop from 2,325 two weeks ago. We believe it’s from the increased chemo which the Dr. wanted his ANC lower than what it has been the last month. His ANC hasn’t been below 1,000 since September. We pray that he doesn’t get sick since he will be more receptive.

His hemoglobin dropped to 10.9 from 11.6 and platelets were 154 from 134. His bilirubin total went down to .60 from 1.00 which is good.

We picked off a tick off his back Thursday night which has left a small spot where it’s head was stuck. We have been watching it to make sure it doesn’t change.

He started coughing some today so he began to use his other inhaler in addition. So far it seems to help, hopefully this is the trick.

Thank you for checking in. We pray for good health for you and all your family/friends.

    Wow, what a trip. Sounds like you did a lot in 48 hours. How did you get a tick in St Louis? Kinda strange.
