We took our first trip back to Columbus today. We had to be there at 10:45, so we dropped Aubrey off at Sandy's around 8:15 and headed East. We thought we would be doing good to get there a little early, but we wait about 20 minutes before they took Ryan to draw his blood and it was about an hour late by the time they took us to a room. Ryan's counts looked good today - white blood cells: 8.8; hemoglobin - 11.1; platelets 114. The platelets and hemoglobin are low, but not so low as to cause Ryan any trouble.
Ryan's magnesium was still low, so he had to get a bag of magnesium, that takes 2 hours. The nurse practitioner wrote a prescription for oral magnesium; they're hoping that when we return Tuesday that his level will be up a little.
His liver function levels were a little high, so they told him to stop taking one of his pills until Tuesday so they can see if there's any difference. We return to Columbus on Tuesday for a visit with the doctor.
So far, Ryan is feeling well, and today is Day +38. We feel like God is really blessing us with Ryan's healing and his energy level. Please pray that he continues to feel well.
