I suppose if you have to be stuck in the hospital, this is a good weekend to be stuck. If we were home, we wouldn't be going anywhere today anyway, so we might as well be at the hospital, I don't have to cook here!
Ryan had to get platelets today, they were 8 this morning, they were up to 29 this afternoon. His red blood cell count dropped a little from yesterday, but we're praying that it will rise tomorrow. His white cell count was 300 today. I continue to pray that he will get to come home Tuesday, that would be a good birthday present. I am, however, praying that whatever God's will is will occur. I don't want him to come home before he's ready and run the risk of getting an infection that might delay the beginning of the transplant process.
Ryan took a nap earlier this afternoon, then we tried to watch a netflix movie online. We found that the hospital wi-fi blocks online video streaming, so we'll have to wait until our first movie arrives in the mail on Monday. Ryan felt a little sick after lunch, but the nausea medicine he took helped with the problem and he hasn't been sick.
We appreciate you continuing to keep us in your prayers. I pray that Tuesday (before the next snow hits) I can bring him home.

AWWWWW, boo wi-fi! You'll just have to wait until you get home! It was great seeing you guys tonight. We'll pray that Ryan's nausea goes away and his counts are where they are supposed to be.

Ryan & April,
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers daily. So many things to ask for: strong blood counts, no nausea, getting to come home. He is with you on this journey.
