Ryan went for blood work again this morning. His platelets were up to a much better number than they were on Monday. He did not have to get any blood or platelets today. When he heard back from the doctor about that decision, the doctor also said he is on track to be ready to return to the hospital for round 3 of chemotherapy on Friday. He is scheduled to be at Wayne Hospital for blood work at 7:00 AM on Friday and if the numbers are where the doctor believes they will be, he will then go on to Miami Valley to be admitted for the next round. It should again be about 5 days in the hospital and then back home, we hope!
Ryan had to get up early today because my van had a flat tire . . . he couldn't find the air hose that is supposed to be at our house, so we had to drive the van to the shop at his parents' to fill the tire with air so I could drive to work. With a little help from his Dad, we got the tire fixed while Ryan was in Greenville for blood work and I was in a meeting at work.
I thank God for a wonderful husband and loving and helpful families, without whom we would not get through this ordeal so well.

Flat tire...sounds like things are getting back to some what normal for your family:) We hope that Ryan continues to respond well to the rounds of chemotherapy. Our thoughts and prayers along with many others are not only reassuring but very powerful! Thank you for the on going updates.
