Sawyer's week at home has been going well. He seems to be feeling better this time than in the past after his methotrexate doses. He's been getting outside each day, either sitting on the porch or going for short walks with the dogs.
The visiting nurse will stop by today and do another blood draw. We're hopeful the blood levels will be good enough that he can consider going to school tomorrow for a half day. If not, he'll wait and go on Monday. He has an unusual three week break from treatments -- this week of recuperating and then hopefully two full weeks of feeling decent, doing half days at school and hanging out with the track team after school during practice.
We had hoped to go in early April on a trip to Gettysburg and Baltimore to celebrate being done with the hospital stays but the doctor nixed the idea. Sawyer really should stay within a couple hours of home (and the hospital). But once June comes, all travel restrictions will be lifted when he starts the once-a-month maintenance phase. So that's our target now -- get through to June!
