Bennett’s ANC today is 2,210 from 2,752 five days ago. His WBC is 3.4 from 4.3 and neutrophils were 65 from 64. His hemoglobin is 12.4 from 12.9 and platelets are 148 from 155. Hooray!

We have decided to go on the weekends for his blood tests. St Louis didn’t care and it will make it easier on us. Bennett won’t have to get up so early on Monday morning now.

His calcium was 10.5 which is a little high. Normal range is 8.4 to 10.2. He is still taking two calcium supplement pills daily so we will ask the Dr. about if he needs to cut back the dose.

He has had a good weekend. Sid, Hamilton and Bennett went fishing last night at Rend Lake but didn’t catch anything. Tonight, they have gone tubing at Rend Lake. Bennett has been wanting to go tubing with the boys but I wouldn’t let him because of Rend Lake water is so dirty. I asked St. Louis this week to see if maybe since ANC is so good that they would be okay with it and they said YES!

Another thing that Bennett can do now is mow the yard. We were told that the dirt and stuff flying around the air isn’t good for him to breathe but they have given him the go ahead to do that as well now since I asked!

What a deal! All the limits and restrictions Bennett has had on him sure gets tiring and boring so we are so thankful that he can do a few more things! You know, it never hurts to ask!

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend! God Bless!
