A bit of a setback today for John, though it is not altogether unexpected. Word came today from Riley that John's counts are down due to his recent chemo therapy. John has responded very well to these treatments with no mouth sores, and very little nausea. However he is experiencing his counts bottoming out, and he is starting to lose his hair again. John is now considered to be "severely neutropenic" which means he is susceptible to catching illness from others. He will not be able to attend school until his counts come up again. Also, the additional chemo treatment scheduled for next week will need to be delayed until his counts rebound. John's spirits are up despite this set back. Keep praying for John as he weathers this latest set back. We'll keep you posted.
