Bennett has the stomach flu.  We pray that it’s only a 12 hour bug and doesn’t last long.  He just started feeling bad at Lindy’s game tonight.  He started with a headache and I gave him tylenol.  Than his stomach started hurting and  by the time we got home, he was sick to his stomach.  He also had the chills.   I gave him some anti-nauseated medicine at the game and some pepto bismol at home.     I heard several people has had the flu so that’s what it probably is.

He had practice after school and than we went to Hamilton’s in-house game which they won.  Lindy’s team lost at West Frankfort.  We hope that Bennett feels better tomorrow so he can go to school and play in the game tomorrow night in the Hamilton Co. tourney. He and another player tied for high scorer of the game with 7.  He actually made a 3 pointer that I counted as 2.  In the newspaper, his coach was quoted saying that, “Page and Powell came in and hit some big shots for us.”

He took his weekly methotrexate pills this morning.  The Dr. didn’t want to change his dose even though his counts were good so he took 6 pills.  He didn’t take his 3 pills of 6mp because of being so nauseated tonight.

I asked the nurse about his globulin being so low and she said there is nothing that they really do or can do to help it.  We had hoped the infusion of the immune globulin would have increased his numbers but it actually went even lower.  We’ll check counts again in two weeks before his next chemo appt. in St. Louis.
