*9:00 a.m. Bennett’s ANC is 1,742 from, 2,244. His WBC were 6.7 from 6.6 and neutrophils were 26 from 34. We hope he can hold unto these and his bone marrow starts making them on their own without the neupogen. His hemoglobin is 9.7 from 10.1 and platelets are 159 from 151. His temp through out the night and this morning is 97.5! the lowest it has been and the closest to his normal temperature! So far his head feels pretty good. He is already up eating pancakes and waiting to hear from the Dr.’s if we get to come home.

*10:15 a.m. Bennett has been discharged! We are waiting for discharge papers and we’ll be ready to blow this joint!

*5:00 p.m. We got home around 1:00, Home Sweet HOME! It’s so beautiful outside, Bennett and I couldn’t believe how green the grass was and how pretty the trees and sky looked! We are so thankful to be home after 11 days in a hospital room.

Bennett feels pretty good. His back has been bothering him this afternoon, he said it hurts to be bend over; that might be from being in bed for almost two weeks.

Dr. prescribed him two antibiotics: augmentin and fluconazole to take for a week twice a day. This is to help with the infection in his sinuses. He has pain medications to take around the clock and another one if it is needed too.

We assume she will see how he is at our next visit in 10 days and possibly prescribe another dose since she indicated she wanted him on antibiotics for at least 3 weeks.

The Dr. wants him to start back on his chemo 6mp pills beginning tonight. I hope the chemo pills along with sinus infection doesn’t drop his ANC too much. We are going to have his counts checked locally Monday morning.

Thank you for everyone’s prayers, support, and comments. We are so thankful and grateful to God! Each trial doesn’t get any easier and unfortunately we fear the worse each time he is sick. We are praising God for keeping Bennett in remission!
