Bennett’s ANC today is 3,744! Wow! From 3,920 two weeks ago which we figured than that it was elevated from the steroids. His WBC is 5.2 and neutrophils at 72. Kool!

His hemoglobin was the highest it’s been in a long time at 13.0 from 12.3 and platelets went up to 211 from 159 which both are in normal range! This is great news because his bone marrow is making new good cells. We will find out from the Dr. if she will want to increase his chemo since he is only on 75% of the treatment plan and his counts are normal.

Also, his liver and kidney levels are better. One level is better but than the total bilirubin is 1.10 which it was 1.20 last time.

Bennett has been extremely tired. He had basketball practice this morning at 8 till 10, after we went by the hospital, he came home and went to bed and slept until it was time to get ready for the dance tonight. He hasn’t ate hardly anything all day, hopefully he is saving his appetite for dinner tonight with his date and friends before the dance.

This is the happiest Bennett has been in a long time, he really is enjoying school, basketball, and life. It is such a relief for us to have our “old” son back. Things are still different and people and times have changed but we are so thankful for all of God’s blessings and the good times Bennett is able to enjoy now!
