Ryan has finally started his fourth round of chemo. He had surgery today to take out his port, his doctor felt it was better to be safe by removing it before the chemo started so as not to chance it possibly causing more infection after his chemo got started. He went to surgery around 11 today and was back in his room around 2:30, everything went fine. They started his chemo around 5:30 tonight. The first drug he gets this round is a 24 hour drug and then on days 2 and 3 he gets a different drug. This is the round that he also gets a rescue drug to get the methotrexate out of his system. He will get to come home when that level is down - Friday or Saturday.
More info on June 16 - pork loin dinners, including green beans, au gratin potatoes, and peach or apple crisp will be served from 3-8 and the tickets are 6.50. I have tickets. The dinners are for carry-out only and can be picked up in the south parking lot of Versailles High School on that day. There will also be a mobile blood unit there for donating blood from 12-4.
Things seem to be going well, Ryan didn't get to eat any breakfast and had a late lunch so he's just now getting some supper, but he feels good and is ready to eat.
We ask that you continue to pray for things to go well and that Ryan can continue to sleep well at night. We appreciate everything good thought and prayer that is coming our way. Thanks to our LORD for sustaining us through this and to all you who are holding us up.

Happy belated Mother's Day, April!! Glad to hear that you got to celebrate it at your favorite restaurant and I must say that it is high time for you to have a dishwasher!!! Hope you enjoy it. You are still in our thoughts and prayers everyday. Sometimes I think God hears little children's prayers better than our own sometimes, so I have my four and two yr. old praying for all of you, too!!
