Jan 7 update

Sarah did better today.  I came to relieve Jess around 4pm this afternoon.  She was sleeping at the time but woke up shortly thereafter.  Her blood pressure had risen and they ended up giving her some medicine that brought it back normal.  She didn't seem to be bothered by it and didn't have any pain associated with it.

Her numbers were better today.  He methotrexate level was 2.5 and her creatine was .6.  The methotrexate needs to get down to .1 and the creatine needs to get down to .3 (where it was when she was admitted).  This will most likely happen on Monday, but there is a possibility that we might be here longer than that.

We are grateful for all the blessings that we have received during this process.  Sarah's treatment thus far has been pretty standard, or at least it seems that way to us.  She hasn't had major complications, for which we are grateful.  We haven't had to spend more than a week in the hospital either.  We are grateful that we have competent doctors and nurses while we are here.  Now if we could get Seattle Children's to have better food, then we could almost call the hospital home.

Thanks for all the support and prayers we get from our friends, family and ward members.  We feel them and it helps sustain us.
