Simon had a bit of a temperature on Tuesday, then normal yesterday and a bit high again today, but not over 40 so that's OK. His methatrexate levels from the blood test last night were down to 6.9 (and need to be .05 to come home) which is about normal for this drug - at least they're not going up like last time!
This evening he asked for a print out of the results from the blood test last night and saw that his potassium levels were low again, 3.1. Last time when they were down to 3 there was a panic about the danger of his heart stopping, so it's a bit worrying that no one had noticed this apart from Simon considering how bad it was last time. He had to ask to get a test for his potassium levels checked with the blood they had just sent off tonight and is now asking to see a doctor to see if he needs the tablets they gave him last time to get his levels back up.
I'm feeling pretty over it all at the moment. I can't believe that there have been so many instances where he is having to look out for such dangerous mistakes happening and I want to slap people. It seems crazy to me that they're not keeping a close watch on him and his levels.
