When the doctor was in today, he had the results of the cultures that they tried to grow from Friday. Both cultures are growing bacteria which means that Ryan has/had some sort of infection. He hasn't had a fever since yesterday afternoon, so they are pretty sure that the infection is gone. The plan is to begin his chemo tomorrow morning.
They are going to draw more blood later this evening to test for bacteria again to determine if the infection is gone. Ryan has had a good day, we went on a walk around the hospital this afternoon.
On the whole, not much happening today.
For anyone interested, please don't feel obligated because many of you have donated time and money already, but there are two events coming up in June for Ryan.
1 - The Versailles FFA Alumni is sponsoring a benefit for Ryan on June 19. They will be selling tickets for pork chop dinners, that's about all I know, but when I get more information I will pass it on. Let me know if you're interested.
2 - On June 6, the Cancer Association of Darke County is sponsoring a Cancer Survivor's run/walk. As long as Ryan is home, he will walk in the survivor's lap. There is an opportunity to walk/run (I'll have to walk) 3 miles and Aubrey and I will probably walk that, along with some other family members as well. They sent a paper to solicit pledges. If you would like to pledge any money, contact me. The money stays in Darke County for help from the Cancer Association, from which we get reimbursement for mileage and medical supplies.
