We received our metho count for the 42 hour mark-----2.02. We are getting close! So he is due for another draw at 10 pm and his dose of Leucovorin, that vitamin "rescue drug " that facilitates the breakdown and repair of the chemo in his system (in one hour for the 48 hour mark). I also asked for a CBC when they draw again in the morning. I am curious of his platelets and hemoglobin counts. If he is due for a transfusion I would much rather it be taken care of while we sit and wait out the metho level instead of reaching a green light for discharge BUT getting stuck here for the transfusion to take place. There is no need for a CBC to be taken after the metho level is in the safe zone when we could be monitoring it all along.
Okay, NOW I am gonna settle down with G. Btw-T threw up again and Najette reminded me the norovirus is going around school. Let's hope it is not what we have going on. So far no diarrhea or fever. He fell asleep after drinking some gatorage and we are going to keep him home from school tomorrow. Ugh--I just wish I was lying next to him right now. I didn't even get to talk to him afterschool today, he was too busy with vomit and play.
