Simon's methatrexate level was .07 this morning, so it will hopefully be down to .05 tonight so that he can come home. His hemoglobin was down a bit, to 78. Normally they would give blood transfusions once they are 80 or below, but it doesn't seem to be affecting him too much, so they will just monitor it and leave it for now.
His potassium is still a little bit down but not too much and they are giving him tablets for it.
This week my choice of weapon/protection by my bed was a broken china rocking horse ornament thing which I threw out this morning. I suspect I am getting tougher (or just being an irresponsible mother) because I heard noises during the night like the front door was opening and I managed to go back to sleep without even reaching for the horse.
Hooray! He's on his way home.
