November 1st update

Bennett’s ANC today was 3,920 from 2,100 two weeks ago. WBC were 5.6 and neutrophils were 70. We expected it to be higher because of the steroids he just finished, steroids usually elevates his WBC.

His hemoglobin is 12.3 from 12.4 and platelets went down to 159 from 216. His createnine level was still high at 18.75 which is your kidney function. His liver levels are still high but down to 55 and 197. The billirubin total was the highest it has been at 1.20. We pray that his kidney and liver levels improve.

Bennett has had a fun weekend. We made a haunted house out of our garage and Bennett, his girlfriend, Hamilton and his buddies worked on it Friday night and practiced.

On Saturday morning, Bennett got up at 1:00 am. to go duck hunting with Bob and Scott again in Shelbyville. They saw alot of ducks but not very many came in so Bennett didn’t even shoot.

He was extremely tired and took a long nap Sat. afternoon. He woke up and didn’t feel well. I took his temperature and thankfully it was normal. He thought he had a sore throat but so far it hasn’t turned into anything.

Saturday night, Hamilton invited his family and friends to the Page’s Haunted Garage. Hamilton had three friends along with Bennett and Lindy that dressed up and scared about 25 people that came to be “frightened” on Halloween night. It was a Blast!

Today, after church, Sid, Bennett and Hamilton took the boat out on the lake. We went tonight to our church wiener roast so another busy FUN Fall day!

Hope everyone had a blessed weekend and enjoying the fall weather!

    Looked like a very scary haunted garage. Glad things are going good with Bennett. Will pray that his liver and kidney functions improve. God is still in control. If He wasn’t, what a mess everyone would be in.
