It’s been a while since we have posted. Neal has been feeling good, even going into work to visit and do some administrative stuff. His white count and platelets have been going up then down. But the past few weeks they continue to go downward. His white count is 1.3 and his platelets are 60,000. The doctor says this is normal but if his platelets drop to below 50,000 then that’s an issue. The big hitch is that Whitney gets married next Sunday, July 3 in Indianapolis. Neal’s numbers need to go up. We really don’t want him to walk Whitney down the isle with a mask on!
The University of Chicago doctor called the local oncologist here and has Neal going to our hospital tomorrow to get a Nuelasta shot. This should help his white count go up and hopefully stay up.
Our pray request is that Neal’s white count goes up substantially and his platelets don’t go below 50,000.
Please pray for the wedding next Sunday. The ceremony is outside so we are praying for good weather. We are blessed to have Ty join our family. Whitney has been doing a fantastic job with the plans. I just do what she asks me to!
We have had Lane with us this past week while Grant and Jenni take a vacation before the next baby comes in November. I forgot how tiring a toddler can be! We have really enjoyed him. Both Karsten and Collin have been a great help. He have dragged out the duplos, Brio train, match box cars, trucks, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, books and books. Good thing I kept a lot of the boys things especially with 2 grandsons!
On the journey,
Trish
We’ll be praying for high counts.
Running along side,
Steve and Dawn
