Drew didn't have a very good night, with a bit of vomiting, whether it was the drugs or the cucumber and brown vinegar he was munching on when we left who knows? Drew had his first dose of Folinic Acid (Rescue drug)at 10.00am and his levels of methatrexate had already dropped to .29, they have to be at .25 to be able to come home so things were looking good. He needs to have 3 doses of the Folinci acid, 6 hours apart, as his levels were so low already, the Doctor was pretty confident he would be below .25 at the next dose and if so was happy for him to come home and take the 3rd dose at home. At 6.00pm the results were OK and Drew was able to come home, Dane was disappointed he wasn't going to sleep in Ronald McDonald house, but I think the rest of us were happy to be spending Easter together at home. Drew came home with a cache of Easter eggs he had received from the Captain Starlight's and others at the hospital. It has been a week of constant changes, but it has all turned out all right in the end.
