We started our day again like normal at 7am, Eric is sleeping while he gets his treatments and IV meds. His white cell went to 5.4 and his platelets went up on their own to 67 (very good-Eric for the past 2 years has been only 8 to 15 is all) and his red blood cells went to 3.8 hemoglobin is good at 9.6. That is great news, Eric's weight he lost another 2 pounds today from yesterday.
The doctor has us start some Carnation Nutrition Drinks and he tried one this morning but could only drink about half and felt a little sick so we took a break. We will keep trying those a little more each day. He will only drink for me water and we try to make sure he is getting at least 3 liters of water each day for his kidneys due to his kidneys levels are a little high right now and all this chemo, medications and antibiotics can hurt your organs.
Eric is a little less today than yesterday, more sluggish and tired. So today is a little harder but he will be OK just more rest. We are so thankful for the blessings the Lord is providing us, the tender mercies. We know he is constantly with us and we feel his comfort daily, hourly and sometimes on the hard days every minute. I am so proud of Eric- it is hard to go through this and keep a positive attitude and he is doing just that. He is a strong guy and has been through so much- the Lord has a lot planned for him and he has over come so many obstacles with the Lord.

Wow, his levels are doing really well, that is awesome. Its nice to hear that his body is building cells on their own and not with help. We continue to pray for him.
