Good Numbers

Ryan had to get blood drawn yesterday. His white count has already come up, not high enough to go back to the hospital now, but looking really good for Monday. His hemoglobin and platelets are looking good too, hopefully he won't need any blood or platelets this round. Things are looking better than they did at this time last round.

Ryan's joints are really bothering him. The shot of neupogen that he gets each night to help his marrow produce white cells affects his joints. It is rough to see him not be able to walk very well, but he is hoping that by tomorrow or Saturday they will feel better since he doesn't need the neupogen any more this round. Please pray for this.

Ryan worked upstairs a little today, he set the toilet in our bathroom and he fixed the drain pipe for the sink that was about 2 inches in the wrong spot. He and his brother are working on putting my dishwasher in right now, we'll actually they're on break because one of the parts they got was missing a piece that they need. I hope they find something that will work so we can finish this project up tonight, but we'll see what happens :)

Hope to see many of you at the benefit tomorrow!

  1. Hey! Glad the numbers are looking good. That's a blessing. We're sorry to hear Ryan's joints are so sore. Hopefully that will be gone quickly.

    Not sure if you made it to Poultry Days or not, but if so hope you enjoyed it! We took the kids out for rides and they had a blast.

    Hopefully we'll get to see you guys at the benefit tonight!
