May 21st update
Bennett has just a little more energy the last two days. He is finally getting out of bed. He has been sleeping better at night! Last night he feel asleep around midnight but woke up at 6:00 a.m. and couldn’t get back to sleep. He has been jogging the last few nights down the road and back. We were hoping this would make him more physically tired and help go to sleep sooner. He is trying to push himself and try anything so he doesn’t have to use drugs to get to sleep.
Yesterday he went to eat lunch with his Aunt Annette and Uncle Ron. I think this has been the first time in awhile that he has gotten out for lunch. He mostly had been eating lunch in bed.
He did feel like getting up earlier than normal and went on a golf cart ride. He went to Gpa/Gma P. for lunch. He seems to be eating a little better. He is eating more frequent and is actually getting hungry. He sat outside for awhile just enjoying the sunshine. He said he was such a beautiful day. He did about 30 minutes of work outside picking up leaves and pulling weeds! Wow!
Bennett had another nose bleed today. He said it didn’t last very long. He also got sick to his stomach after he ate some pizza. He took some zofran and so far hasn’t been sick again. This seems kinda strange, of what is causing an upset stomach.
Bennett is planning on going to the 8th grade graduation ceremony. He is going to rest up tomorrow and not do as much as he did today. He is not sure about attending the 8th grade party afterwards. He said he is going to wait to see how he feels after the ceremony. I hope he can go for a little bit just to see everything decorated and visit with his friends.
We are so thankful that he is doing a little better. We pray/hope that it continues and he keeps improving each day. We will check his counts again on Monday, we pray that their all in safe range.
May God bless you and your family!
Well… here it is graduation. Time goes by so fast. I hope since Bennett is feeling a little better that this will be a good summer for him. (and all of you too) We are all doing pretty good. Take care, I pray for you all each night. Still stands. if you need anything just call me.
