October 13 - Blood Work

October 13 - Blood Work

Today started off like every other day, up and ready to leave the house to get to blood work, then Nursery School, followed by Mommy rushing to work to make her 9am meeting (whoever thought a 9am meeting on a Thursday was a good idea, is not my friend!)

We walked in and someone else was sitting at the desk. I started to tell Levi that P wasn't there when I finally got to the desk and P was there!!! She was sitting beside the desk training someone new! Levi was so excited that she was there!

The blood draw went well! Levi did a great job of picking his band-aid on the first try. We used his right arm and the draw itself went great! Before I knew it we were off and running to the treasure box. Levi picked out a jumping frog game! And was very proud of it. He wanted it opened right away, but its a lot of little pieces so I told him we had to wait. He understood, but was a little disappointed.

Once we got in the car I told him that he could have 2 frogs to play with on the way to nursery school and that seemed to make him very happy!

They were jumping all over the place!

When we didn't have any results by 10am, we were definitely getting a little frustrated. Finally around 11am Jay called the lab and talked to D again, she knows us, so she said she would fax them right over as soon as she got off the phone. They came in several minutes later, 2 copies! Interesting how that happens. When we call to ask them to send them, we get the fax twice usually about 2-3 minutes apart. Very strange! The whole fax concept is strange anyways, it should all be online these days and not waste the paper!

Anyways, the important part, his counts came in at 210! That's right a 110 point jump since the infusion!! YAY!! That is what we like to see and definitely makes things way less stressful! He will get Monday off from blood work now, and we wont be back until Next Thursday!
