Kenny Update--March 3rd


Well – Kenny is back in the hospital again. He had a low grade fever most of yesterday afternoon and a cough. Under the chemo protocols once he hits 101.0 then he wins an instant call to the Doctor and a trip to the hospital. The first cancer treatment Kenny was in the hospital after every chemo treatment except for 1 time. This ‘unexpected’ stay at the hospital was not totally unexpected. They have him on antibiotics and IV fluids to fight off whatever this is. His temperature has been up and down today but is being closely monitored. His white cell count is still very low. He is sleeping a lot. He is the most cheerful and pleasant sick person we have ever seen.
We did get news today that the 2nd pathology report concurred with the original diagnosis of “undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma at the base of the skull”. Kenny will continue with the chemo treatment that began last week with a reassessment in April on the tumor.
Prayer concerns are
White cell count drastically increases
The infection removed from his body
His appetite increases
The chemo treatment is effective against the tumor
We both get more restful sleep while we are here
It was great to be at the Greenwood round robin this morning. I am extremely appreciative of the prayers that were made on Kenny’s behalf. Thank You!
