Ryan's white count is struggling to come up this time. He's been about 4 days with .1 white blood cells. We are hoping that today's count will show a little growth. His platelets were down to 7 yesterday so he had to get an infusion of platelets after lunch yesterday afternoon. It didn't take nearly as long as the red blood cells did the other day. We were only in the hospital for about 3 1/2 hours.
Ryan rested a lot yesterday and feels pretty good today. He had to go get blood drawn again this morning and we're waiting to hear what his counts are. Hopefully we'll see some change for the good today.
We're still trying to decide whether we should stay home today or go find something to do.
Happy Memorial Day

Thank you for keeping us posted. We continue to think and pray for all of you and hope that Ryan can soon recover and get back to normal (as normal as Ryan can get anyway)! God Bless your family.

Don't be too hard on yourself, April! You're handling a load that's far to heavy for most people, and you've been very loving and uplifting for Ryan and others. It's easy to get discouraged, and that's right where the enemy wants you. We will pray for strength and peace for all of you, that things will ease up soon and that good news will flow at every turn.
