This has been a fairly good week. No appointments, catching up on school work, much less discomfort from the shingles, and looking forward to a rail trail bike ride with fellow scouts on Saturday. He's also been enjoying the new found freedom offered by his driver's license.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation folks will be meeting with Sawyer next Thursday to get a couple wishes from him. He was registered for the program back in October by the hospital social worker and at first I thought maybe it would be something we should turn down. But after what Sawyer's had to endure since then has changed my mind; he deserves something for his overall handling of the leukemia and for all the things he's not been allowed to do because of it.
His next appointment is on Monday (another spinal tap and other chemo). He'll stay accessed (needle in his port) when we go home since he gets another round of cyterabine from the visiting nurse on Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday we expect to be back at the clinic to start the next round of asparaginase shots (which means returning on Friday, next week MWF, following week on Monday); they'll also give him the dose of cyterabine.
Looking at the statistics for this blog continue to amaze me -- it's been viewed over 30,200 times since we started it back in mid-October! You are all wonderfully supportive and we continue to appreciate it. Thank you!
