Dad has experienced a drop in platelet levels over the past two weeks. When he went in on Monday they were 24,000. He opted not to start the Vancristine, but to wait and watch for symptoms of bleeding. He has had no sores in his mouth, which is good. The only symptom he's had is fatigue, but he is able to do daily activities so long as he paces himself. Friday he was at 33,000. It could be as long as May until the Rituxin takes full effect.
I have been praying the first half of Pslam 41 for him if you would like something specific to guide your prayers. Thanks.
