November 23 - Blood Work

November 23 - Blood Work

Even though infusion was only yesterday we are doing blood work today since tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the lab will be closed. Last Thanksgiving we were facing a horrible stomach virus and counts that dropped so low our little boy was spotted. And at that point we didn't know what was going on. So going into this Thanksgiving knowing that we have good counts will be a great treat for everyone!

Nursery School closes at noon today so we decided to do blood work after school instead of in the morning. I dropped Levi off at school like every other day. At noon I picked him up and we headed for the lab. When we got their I saw that P was not their today. Uh oh! This could be a rough day! Nurse Pa was there instead and she is pretty good with Levi so I wasn't too worried. I was however a little stressed about the amount of people waiting in line! It was going to be a long wait. Levi settled in ok and had fun taking selfies and "reading" a magazine while he set on the floor.



Finally she called us and we headed in. Levi picked out his band-aid and we were sitting in the chair waiting for her to finish the paperwork when Levi had to go potty. We rushed right into the bathroom (thankfully there is one right in the lab). By the time we came out Pa was all ready for us! The blood draw went fairly well! And Levi was off and running to the treasure box before we knew it. Levi picked 3 cars from the box and we headed to the fountain to look at them. He wanted them open right away but I told him we had to wait until we got to the car. Once I said that he was ready to go!

Counts came in a little while later. His count came in at 249. A great increase in just about 24 hours! And an awesome number to head into Thanksgiving with! We wont be stressed this year at Thanksgiving which is so nice!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Hope you have a great time with your families!!
