He said I haven't had a party since I was a kid. I know all your prayers are helping us both go through this.

Sending a Happy Belated Birthday to Ken. I pray for him to start feeling better.
I know that really sucks about being able to get the Blood Transfusion, but if they give it to him and his platelets havn'e gone below 15, the Insurance company will not pay for it. I know it sucks.
Prayers still continue. He really does look in the picture.

Happy Belated Birthday Ken. Sending prayers and best wishes. I hope this years brings health and happiness for you.

Sending big hugs for the birthday. Sorry I am late.
Keeping you in our prayers.

Patti · 12-09-2011, 04:16 PM

Thanks everyone. Ken's platelets were unchanged from yesterday so they didn't give him platelets but his hemoglobin was borderline for a transfusion so we have to go back Monday to see if it has gotten any worse. If it has he will get the transfusion monday. Hopefully his levels will be good enough for the chemo treatment on Thursday. We also meet with the oncologist that day to see if the 22nd is Ken's last chemo for awhile. I am praying it is so he can get a chance to build himself up a little.
TxVicki I had a feeling it was an insurance protocol for the 15.

They are pretty sure he will need it. The last time he had a transfusion he felt so much better for awhile. He starts his 4th cycle on the 15th and we meet with the oncologist. He originally said 4 cycles so we are praying that the cancer has remained stable and he can take a break for awhile. What a wonderful Christmas that would make! Thanks for the prayers and thoughts.

I'll be praying for this too!

Thanks so much! He is so weak today and I wish they had just transfused him Friday. You and your DH are in my prayers. Also, I am in the Chicago area if your daughters ever need anything just let me know.
