Alex was sick as a dog all night until about six this morning. He was very restless and uncomfortable and didn't sleep very much at all. Around eight or so he finally fell into a deep sleep. I'm hoping he sleeps as long as he can while the chemo wears off.
I'm also hoping that things start getting a bit easier soon. Bloodwork tomorrow, likely platelets. In theory there is nothing after that until next Wednesday but depending on what his other blood counts are like tomorrow, I suspect we'll be back in Monday to check again.
Wednesday should be reasonably simple, just a shot of Vincristine and that will bring an end to this phase. After that we go into an "interim maintencance" phase and, all depending on blood levels, we might only be going into the hospital every ten days. After the past eight weeks or so, going in every ten days seems like an extraordinary luxury!
