4/25 update
Sorry for not posting yesterday, but it was a busy day. Ryan went in for counts, and for the most part they were good. His ANC was in the normal range, which is a blessing. However, his platelets were low. They were not low enough to get a transfusion, but they are low enough that the next round of chemo can’t start until they are up. So, instead of being admitted tomorrow, the doctor wants to wait until Monday morning at 6:30. Once Ryan is admitted, they will do counts again to see if the platelets are up, and if they are, then the chemo can begin. The doctor is certain that it will be up, but we have to make sure. If not, it could put the chemo back a day or two until the count comes up. Please pray that Ryan’s platelet count rises. We want this round to start ontime.
Last night was the Relay for Life here in Northwest Rankin County, and Ryan was an honorary co-chair of the event. He, along with other cancer survivors, got to kick off the relay by leading the Survivors lap. It was great to be there as we have never been. Local schools, businesses, churches, and families had tents set up where you could get food and goodies. We saw several people that had not seen in some time, and that was such a blessing. Even Ryan’s school, Flowood Elementary, had a tent, and we did take a picture with him and the teachers, but for some reason it didn’t take on my camera. So, if your camera has a copy of the picture, ladies, please send one to me. I would love to post it here so everyone can see Ryan with you.
Today, we are going to go and play putt-putt golf, something that Ryan wants to do before having to go back into the hospital. Not sure what all else we have planned, but that is going to happen today. We try to do what Ryan wants to do while he is out of the hospital as we know that he can’t do them while in it. He seems to enjoy the freedom of being out and about, and that is just fine with me. :D

Glad for this freedom and a bit of extra time at home! Will continue praying for the counts to come up…
