SD was SO brave having his blood drawn today! He's always done amazingly well with needles when he isn't under the influence of personality altering drugs, but this was the first time I saw the phlebotomist need to fish for a disappearing vein. He just watched her without moving; he did cringe when she found the vein, but that was his only reaction. His courage was a relief to the phlebotomist, who said that she'd worked up a sweat with that draw. :)
We received the go-ahead to start 6-MP again a couple hours after returning home! All of his counts have gone up nicely since last Thursday. In this case, the ANC is the most pertinent set of numbers; since it's high enough, he'll be starting half doses today. We are hoping to figure out how much of the medication his body can handle to be effective while not crashing his counts soon.
So glad to hear his counts are going up! And yay for him continuing to show an interest in everything around him. :)
