June 9 - Blood Work

June 9 - Blood Work

Levi was up fairly early and ready to head to blood work. He was pretty excited to see Nice Nurse and to go in Mommy's New car. We had a little debate about the DVD player. Levi doesn't quite understand yet that he only gets movies for long drives, but we listened to music and had breakfast so that was good.

We got to the hospital and Levi remembered that the fountain had been off the last time we were there. As soon as we walked in the front door he looked up and saw that it was on, and said "Someone turned it on!!!' and ran over to look at it. Without any prompting he stopped looking after a few seconds and said "go see Nice Nurse" and off he took.

Nice Nurse was very happy to see us. There was no line no waiting so we headed right in. Levi picked out his band-aid. He picked a candy band-aid and climbed up in the chair to open it. Nice Nurse came over after finishing the paperwork and give him a high five. She said, "I was going to take today off, but then I remembered that my buddy was coming today and there was no way I was missing seeing Levi!" He looked pretty happy.

The blood draw went well. As soon as he had his band-aid on he was off and running to the treasure box. He picked a blue kaleidoscope. It's so fun to watch him look through it. He says "Let's Look" and closes his eye and puts it up to his eye or nose or forehead. It's very cute to watch and he gets so excited!

Levi hugged Nice Nurse and she was just beaming. We definitely made her day!! Then we were off to visit the fountain again before heading to the car and driving to daycare.

Numbers came back around 3:00 at 265! So the infusion did what it needed to do.
No time for pictures today, so here is one of him eating his lollipop after his hair cut.
Next steps: Blood work again on Thursday 6/16. This is the easy part of the month so no real stress!
