Kenny Update – June 21st

Kenny is doing well. Proton treatment is continuing every weekday. We just met with the Proton doctor and based on this week’s updates the treatment is going great.

The chemo treatments were suspended this week due to low blood counts on Monday but a new blood draw this morning show the counts returning to more normal levels. The concern is if the counts get too low that Kenny could be hospitalized with a fever, infection or could affect the treatment effectiveness. This is a balancing act that the doctors have to perform between the 2 treatments and is not totally unexpected. Proton therapy is the priority of all of Kenny’s cancer treatment and everything else is secondary.

Next Tuesday is going to be an extremely busy day for us. Kenny will be getting Proton treatment very early in the morning and then we are heading to OSU in Columbus, OH for 2 afternoon appointments. We will be returning home that evening. If all goes well I should still be heading to the CCU tournament in Cincinnati on Wednesday. The interstate between home and parts of Ohio are starting to become very familiar.

Prayer request
Continued protection from the cancer treatment but an effective battle to destroy the cancer cells
Time management and balance of activities
Kenny gets his school work completed

Praises
Continued provisions that we are constantly seeing
How well Kenny’s continues to do
