Bennett’s ANC today was 2,100 with 3.5 WBC and 60 neutrophils which is good! His hemoglobin is 12.4 and platelets are 236. His creatinine level is high which is his kidneys. Also, liver levels were still high at 122 and 328 which is lower than last time but still way above normal. We’ll see what the Dr. says Tuesday about them. The chemo pills he takes causes this.

Bennett had a good day. He went fishing with our friend Bob and they caught about 60 crappie and bass at Rend Lake. It was pretty chilly early this morning. He had a great time!

Hamilton had a 102 temp this morning. He had a headache, cough, sore throat, back & stomach ache, and chills too. I took him to our pediatrician and he did the influenza (A) test and it came back Negative! Yeah! He said it’s not 100% accurate though so he went ahead and prescribed tamiflu to be safe around Bennett. It also might be viral.

The Dr. indicated that they have been directed by the health dept to not test for H1N1. That if you have a positive A flu test than treat it the same. The H1N1 test is very expensive and not that accurate is why they aren’t doing that specific test. Our Dr. said there has been alot of flu cases and also strep throat.

Please pray that Bennett doesn’t get sick. I have been so worried about Bennett getting something from school and public places and now worried about home. Hamilton has been very good by wearing a mask and staying in his room. I think we are using every type of Lysol product you can buy.
