Bob is a SLEEPY man........but doing well.....

Dad is doing well but is VERY SLEEPY.....he is sleeping a lot which is common while on Chemo. His blood work looked better today.

• White Blood count went up significantly since last week - the reference range is 4.8 to 10.8.... last week it was only 2.6 and this week it is 11.9 - Praise God!!! Infection (fever) is always a concern when the white blood count is so low. Our prayers have been answered.
• Platelets doubled since last week and are now within the reference range.
• Hemoglobin remains low - he will receive a shot next week if they are below 10 - He is currently at 10.9
• Red Blood count is within the reference range.

Praise God for the good report today!!!

If Dad continues to do well, he will receive his second "full" dose of Chemo next Wednesday (September 3).

In between naps, Dad has spent a significant amount of time with Shawn and Tim over the past couple weeks as Shawn is building a new home for his family. Dad loves helping his son and there is nothing better than a building project!!!! We are thankful that he feels good enough to go to the building site and be part of the project.

Thank you for your continued prayers for strength and healing as Dad faces this challenge.
