July 20th update

Bennett’s ANC today was 2,752!! Yeah! It was 3,233 from 10 days ago. His WBC is 4.3 from 6.1 and neutrophils were 64 from 54. His hemoglobin is 12.9 from 12.8 and platelets are 155 from 196. All are Awesome!

He is still on the 75% reduced amount of chemo so we will see at his Dr. appt tomorrow if the Dr. changes his dosage.
We hope to have good news tomorrow about being able to have a follow up MRI on his ankle so we know if it is healed now rather than walking or running on it and it starts bothering him again.

He has been very disappointed about having to limit his activity because of having to stay off of his ankle and using his crutches. To the point that he is about done with them. He really does miss playing whether it’s playing on a sports team or playing in the yard with Hamilton. His activity has been very limited this summer. We pray his ankle is healed and he can move on.

Thank you for the prayers and we pray that this is the last “hill” he has to climb during the rest of this long journey.

“Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.” James 1:2-4
