Monday morning

Carson slept really well last night, but is still very tired. He did want to leave his hospital bed though, so he is on the fold out chair dozing in and out as he watches Curious George and Beethoven.

The midnight labs are back and Carson's white blood cell count has plummeted to 27,000! Since Friday the numbers have fallen from over 200,000. It is good news. We are incredibly grateful that God continues to answer one prayer at a time.

Speaking of prayer, many of you have asked for specific things for which to pray. Here is another. On or about Thursday, as part of his chemo, Carson will have a shot to which leukemia patients can have a severe allergic reaction. We are praying for no reaction. We want to stay with standard (we read "best") protocol.

We'll update more later. We have had a busy morning - Paul took Francesca to Vacation Bible School. The residents have been by the room to discuss Carson's treatment, we've met a new hematologist oncologist and we're going to be giving a few more meds any minute now!
