Not much going on again today. Ryan is being a relatively easy patient, the nurses still enjoy joking with him, but he's not requiring much work out of them. He got a new type of chemo today which was a shot in each of his arms. He had to get a very small test dose before the shot to see if his body had a reaction to it or not. He had no reaction and seems to be doing well with the actual chemo. His white count is down again today, 500. The chest x-ray that the doctor ordered for today was to check for infiltrates or fluid in his lungs. There is nothing there. He didn't report about the shadowing that had been seen last Monday, he said another CT scan will need to be done to check on the size of that.
Ryan has watched a little tv today and played Freecell on the computer. We had a few visitors, all family today. I spent most of the day reading. If nothing else, sitting in the hospital is a good place to get reading done.

Gloria, Lucas and I are praying for you. Ryan was always there for me through high school and I will never be able to repay him for that. Please stay positive. I have seen first hand how Ryan can get himself out of any sticky situation. God knows how valuable Ryan is to everyone he touches.

Pril,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the email prompting us to check the blog... The up and down of this journey must be so difficult to accept. I'm praying for you both to have serenity today. Very glad to hear that Ryan's body is responding to the new treatment, though!
Thanks for blogging so we know how to pray.
