Things have been going well - yay! We were a bit nervous at the idea of having Sawyer come home and being worried about all the little things we need to think about (fever, exposure to germs, sanitizing, medicine schedule, general worry, etc.) but so far everything has gone smoothly. His blood counts were strong at the beginning of the week and he's continued to feel generally well (although additional rest is still valued). He's working through school work, trying to figure out what still needs to be completed in order to stay on top of everything. His tutor continues to come every day after school for a couple hours and has been a big help.
We stopped in to the boy scout meeting last night so that Sawyer could check in with everyone as well as offer his thanks for their outstanding service at the Stacks for Sawyer event. He'll make an appearance at the Fall Sports Awards tonight at school as well to make a short appearance with his soccer team when they are called down front to receive certificates and pins. He wears a mask as a precaution but doesn't seem daunted by it.
The visiting nurse will be by again this morning to draw blood and do an overall assessment. She has a very outgoing personality and is very likable - gives Sawyer a bit of relief for the day with some company although she's not your typical guest in that she has to poke him with a needle every time!
We have also been the benefactors of some very delicious meals -- thank you to all who have signed up to provide one during our first month of adjusting and trying to catch up after being off work and out of school for almost 3 weeks.
Given that we seem to be in a schedule of sorts, we'll probably start posting on the blog about once a week -- most likely Tuesdays, after we've had a chance to make the trek to Rochester for the Monday appointment and visits. That way our faithful readers will have a better sense of when to check back for a new posting.
