Well, good news regarding Ryan's counts today. The white count number is 600 and the ANC number is up from 74 yesterday to 558 today! What a huge jump from one day to the next. All of Ryan's blood count numbers are still below where they're supposed to be, but they are improving and so we're continuing to pray that the numbers go in the right direction.
After his chemo from earlier this week, he had four days of steroids. They cause him to have trouble sleeping at night, so he was a little tired today, but he got up and walked around his unit several times today and also played with Aubrey for a little while.
The doctor was in early this morning to check on him, he said he's looking fine and we're just waiting on those counts.
They gave Ryan some cough medicine to help the cough, but it really hasn't helped a lot. It is still bothering him. They did not do the bone marrow test today, Ryan thinks they're not doing it until Monday, so I'll keep you updated on that.
Continue to pray for continued good news about his counts and for his cough.
