Not much to report

There hasn't been a lot going on today and besides Ryan's numbers, we don't really know anything more than what we knew yesterday.

Ryan's white blood cell count was 15,700 today. That is a little higher than normal, but after talking to the nurse, she assured me that it is ok. His hemoglobin is 11.1 and is supposed to be 14-17, so he's getting closer. His HCT (red blood cells) is 32.1 and is supposed to be between 38-45% and his platelets are 115 today. The average for them is 130-400, so they've made huge improvements the last two days. He was actually supposed to get some platelets before his surgery to change his port, but since they came up so well they didn't have to give him any.

I haven't seen him yet tonight. They took him for surgery around 2:30 and the surgeon called around 5 and said all went really well and they got the ports changed out and he would be in recovery for 1-2 hours. It has been an hour, but he isn't back to the room yet, I keep waiting for him to return.

We are planning to talk to the doctor tomorrow to know what his treatment plan will be and when he will get to come home.

I hear that his cough is maybe a little better today.

Please pray for his spirits and wisdom for the doctor to know what is the best way to continue his treatment.

More tomorrow
