Bennett’s ANC is 2,644 from 3,744 two weeks ago. His WBC is 3.6 from 5.2 and neutrophils stayed the same at 74. We expected his ANC to be lower because of the increase of chemo pills he is taking. His hemoglobin was 12.4 from 13.0 and platelets were 210 from 211 so all these are great. His liver levels were little high at 64 and 148. The total bilirubin went down to .90 from 1.10 which is good too. We are thankful everything is good!

We are so amazed that he has kept from getting sick, what a blessing! It’s such a relief but we never relax or rest because we know any day our life can change. I wished I could put this all in God’s hands and never worry but it’s too difficult. I pray God gives us all peace and trust to enjoy each day.

He told me the other day that this Thanksgiving was the best ever and he slept most of the day so he didn’t do anything majorly exciting. I think he is just so thankful for who/what he has in his life and he is really happy. (which hasn’t been the case in the last three years even when he said he was).

Bennett’s first basketball game is Tuesday night at home. We’re really looking forward to it, we pray for no injuries. He really has been keeping up with the other players during practice. Also his favorite thing is not running but he keeps up with everyone else and does everything just like the other players. That is so amazing to me that he can endure this all while on chemo. He really is an inspiration to many.

Thank you for checking in and hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving weekend!
