Sam has hit a speed bump in his Maintenace Phase. After his first 2 weeks we had his blood work tested and the results were not as anticipated. His hemoglobin and platelets were very low. Dr. Bond had him stop all medicatioins, including his antibiotics for one week with another blood test to follow. Last Friday Sam was tested again and his counts have not improved.

We will get his blood tested again this week. Monica at BCCH said not to worry so that's what we're trying to do. "Do not be anxious about anything but with prayer and petition make your requests known to God..."

Will you pray with us that Sam's counts go back up and we can resume his treatments on schedule? Kate and Karly and the team head down to the okanagon for the provincial tournament this week. Unfortunately we won't be able to go to watch them play but the tournament website has live streaming of the games so hopefully that is up and running by their first game.

Have a great day.
