Discharged

Sawyer was discharged this afternoon about 4 pm after receiving another unit of red blood cells and his first unit of platelets. Hopefully those will boost his system enough that we won't need to go back until his regularly scheduled appointment next Monday.
He has to take Benedryl and prednisone for the next couple of days at home to ensure there's no residual reaction in his system. The visiting nurse will come on Thursday for her normal visit and hopefully we'll just be back on track. We don't ever want to again go through what we did yesterday.
The doctor said that the chances of someone having the allergic reaction to the extent the Sawyer did is 1 in thousands (in other words, very rare).We'll say it again, thank goodness for the staff at Strong and that it happened while he was in the clinic -- I can't imagine if the reaction had happened later on, like in the car ride home.
This update should wrap up this latest unpleasantness -- look forward to more upbeat ones to come!
