Not a whole lot is going on today. Ryan didn't sleep the greatest last night and so he slept much of today.
He has finished his chemo for now and they've taken out his IV. His kidney doctor was in yesterday and they've decided that his kidneys are doing well so he doesn't have to get fluids anymore.
His white count is down again today.
A few areas for prayer today - that he sleeps well tonight, that his cough begins to go away, that his blood pressure continues to drop. It was high yesterday, but when the nurse took it the last time this evening, it had dropped significantly.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has visited and sent cards. We also appreciate everyone all the offers for help and the numerous nice things that have been done for us. There are no words to say how thankful we are for all the love and support we have been shown.
April & Ryan-

ReplyDeleteRyan and April,
ReplyDeleteThanks for setting up this blog. I appreciate hearing first hand about Ryan. Glad that prayers are being answered. To add a little humor in this, you need to watch out for that nurse, April. However, if she is my age, it's just a thrill for her.
Love and prayers,
Joyce
haha on Joyce's comments.
ReplyDeleteApril... There are so many people here at school that want to cook for you. Please let me know when you're feeling a little hungry and I can get something organized on this end. Gwen has volunteered to take things up to Darke County.

April, I am so glad he's feeling better. He's a fighter. =) We are in NC with our son and just a phone call away if you need anything. Call if you need the in service on the ipod. Maybe besides just stories I should have downloaded more music for doing laps! Give Ryan a hug for me.
ReplyDeleteCall us anytime, Eva and Scott
So thankful for the updates. Glad Ryan is feeling a little better. Praying for you all, God Bless!

ReplyDeleteIt's so good to hear how well Ryan is doing. We'll keep praying for him and hopefully he'll sleep tonight. Call if you need anything, we'll be over to visit this weekend.
Love you guys,

I hope you have a peaceful night and can get some sleep. I am glad to hear that your numbers are going in the right direction. Thank you April for keeping us all informed. I know this is not an easy time. May God continue to work his miracles. Take care.
