June 19th update
Amen! Bennett’s ANC today was an unbelievable 1,632 from 550 four days ago. His WBC were 3.4 from 2.2 and neutrophils were 45 from 25! Yeah!
His hemoglobin went up too at 12.3 from 10.8 and platelets at 240 from 241, all very good!
We Thank God for answers to our prayers and blessing Bennett with good counts!
We heard from his oncology Dr. and so far they have seen NO leukemia cells from his bone marrow biopsy! Hallelujah!! They are doing an additional spear to study some recovering B cells that was noted, we won’t found out these results until Monday. We are thankful for NO leukemia cells but it’s difficult to get too excited until we know for sure it ALL is okay. Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated.
Bennett can start his daily chemo pills called 6mp (mercaptopurine). He is on 50% of the dosage so he will be taking 1 pill Friday through Sunday. Dr. wants us to check counts again on Monday morning, wouldn’t it be Awesome if his counts continue to rise!
Hamilton had a game tonight at Nashville, IL and we lost 2-7 to 10 year old Nashville team. He plays tomorrow at 2:00.
Bennett has had some pain today with his ankle and it is still swollen. He is moving around really good with his crutches.
Thank you for everyone’s prayers and we ask that you continue. May we hear good news on Monday from the bone marrow biopsy and his blood tests!
“I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, He is right beside me.” Psalm 16:7-8
So glad that the news you have gotten so far is good. We’ll keep praying. Glad to hear that Bennett can start back up on his chemo pills again.
GOD BLESS! The Weimans
So glad to hear good news so far! I will continue to keep all of you in my daily prayers!
Hopefully your ankle will continue to heal and you will be able to put some weight on it very soon!
Take Care
