Today has been a fairly slow day. Ryan had 2 pumps with lots of antibiotics and other bags hanging the last couple of days. He is down to one pump, with only 2 bags hanging, one of those is fluids. His white count is down to 700 (yesterdays was 1200, not 12,000; I read the paper wrong). He will be getting a chest x-ray tomorrow to look at the mass and see how it is responding to the chemo. By looking at his blood counts alone, he is responding very well. It is the plan that another bone marrow biopsy will be done on day 14 (today is day 4) to see what, if anything, is left in the bone marrow. Ryan is feeling well and eating well so far and he doesn't seem to feel as wiped out after these days of chemo as he did when we went through this before.
We are thankful for the good results so far and continue to praise God for him being the one set of footprints in the sand.
Will continue to pray for Ryan.

Praying for Ryan and for you and yours... Thank you for posting these blogs, as a CTC friend I like keeping up with his progress. Please tell Ryan we are thinking of him and wish him days of feeling well. Also if you need backup babysitting help my duaghter who Ryan knows through school and me would love to help if she can. Take care and God Bless you...
