Methotrexate - Fourth and Final Round

It is now 3pm and Sawyer is getting hooked up to the first bag of fluids. We are on a different unit (4-3600) than in the past which requires getting used to a new nursing and tech staff. This is quite easy since everyone we have met today is extremely nice and equally professional. Sawyer has a dual port embedded in the right side of his chest (because he is left handed) into which his fluids, chemo and medications are injected. Right now only one side of the port seems to be working. This isn't an immediate problem, but they are working to correct this issue. Sawyer will receive fluids for the next six to twelve hours before they can start the 24-hour chemo treatment. The earlier the chemo is infused, the earlier he can end this chapter of his treatment - one he will not miss.
