MTX is .19, creatinine is down to 1, all headed in the right direction.
Staying another night still, he'll get blood tomorrow.

No sooner had I written my last post, and Connor spiked a fever and we spent the day at the ER.  We're home, he's tired, but better.  No idea why, so we'll continue to monitor him as the Tylenol wears off.

Tonight is Connor's 18th night in the hospital this stay. He can't wait to be home. We are aiming for Monday now. They are going to work on reducing his TPN (IV nutrition) to only a 12 hr infusion.

Connor made it through 1/2 hour of physical therapy today. Some sitting leg exercises, a few arm exercises and a short walk around the living room before feeling nauseous. And he spiked a fever.

Hoping for some answers!!
