A Calendar Change/Third Chemo Treatment

Bryant went to have his blood drawn on the 11th of June. His platelet levels were very low as well as his hemoglobin. Therefore, they canceled the chemo treatment and rescheduled it for the following week. He was a little distressed having to push a treatment back.

I took Bryant to his third chemo treatment on Tuesday, the 19th. This was the first time I was able to go as I have been with the kids. We are so thankful for a great baby sitter, Sydney. It was good to see what he goes through during this process, meet his Dr., nurses, and various staff as well as be with my husband during this. Bryant's white blood count was low this time, but they decided to still go forward with the treatment. Bryant was relieved he was getting treated. He did well the first night since he had an extra week off. The second day was pretty rough. He woke up and came over here for Bryson's birthday. I could tell he did not feel well. When he went back to get the pump taken off, he was suffering the side effects of the chemo. They went ahead and gave him IV fluids, which really helped.

We are staying positive and trusting in God. As his wife, I have never felt so close to him. I have never had anyone close to me get sick. It has been life changing for both of us. We do not take a day for granted. We have our moments, scared...not knowing what is ahead, but then we talk, we pray and trust in God.

Bryson made this for Bryant during his therapy appointment while Bryant was at his mom's house resting from chemo. He was so excited to give it to him....
