A Better Day

Today seemed to go a little smoother and not quite as exciting as yesterday. Things we are thankful for:
1. Ryan's temp was 99.8 last time it was checked.
2. Ryan's white count came down from 42,000 this morning to 8,000 at about 6:00 tonight.
3. Aubrey is allowed in Ryan's room, she visited today.
4. Ryan's blood pressure seems to be normal, as does his heart rate, and pulse.
5. Ryan's chemistries from the last blood draw this afternoon looked "almost normal" (doctor's words).
6. Dr. Devine stopped in, just to tell Ryan that he has been thinking about him and that he's sorry he's back in the hospital.
7. Aubrey is sleeping in her own bed.
8. I will be sleeping in my bed soon.
9. Ryan seemed more alert and remembered to call me after they took him temp at 10:00.

God is great, all the time.

Please continue to pray for Ryan's temperature to return to normal. He is also holding a little fluid, so pray that that will begin to go away.

The first two doses of chemo are over, they will begin again with two doses 12 hours apart either tomorrow morning or tomorrow night around 9. This every 12 hours, then off 24 has me confused as to when it begins :)
