Wednesday's Report: Grinding out the days

It's Wednesday and Sawyer continues to do well. According to the attending physician, Sawyer's blood levels are returning to normal at an appropriate rate. Following the 24-hour dose of chemo, his Methotrexate blood count was 69 and it needs to be 0.1% before he can be discharged. As of Sawyer's 3pm blood draw, the count was down to 9! This means that Sawyer may be able to go home tomorrow (Thursday), but most likely he won't be leaving until Friday. At one point this evening Sawyer stated that he is simply, 'grinding out the days' until he can go home. Hopefully this week -  along with the following six or seven weeks - will go quickly with no unpleasant surprises. More updates tomorrow.
