March 17 - Blood Work

March 17 - Blood Work

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I went into this blood work a little more on edge for the numbers then I do for some. We were all a little concerned that his numbers might have continued to fall some even with the infusion, as they have in the past, and any lower then 83 and we would be getting into the dangerous zone.

Levi was not up and moving very quickly this morning. But once I got him up and going he was in a very good mood. We headed out and got down to the lab. There was one person in front of us so we settled down for a short wait. Settled down is a very lose term. We were a little crazy man. But we managed to stay in the chair the whole time even if not always sitting down in it. Thank goodness for the stars game, I just wish that it locked the home button on my phone.

When it was our turn we headed in and saw Nice Nurse. Levi ran right to the band-aid cupboard to pick out his band-aid. He has gotten adventurous lately and we ended up with a Hulk band-aid. He wanted spider man who was on the box, but there wasn't any left. I didn't even know that he knew who spider man was!

Nice Nurse had a student observing her today. The student was very nice, but very quiet. Nice Nurse did her normal job of getting Levi's blood on the first shot and super quick. I don't have to hold his shoulders or other arm at all anymore. Just have to hold the arm that is getting stuck otherwise he flinches a lot. As soon as it was done, Levi wiggled down to go get a prize. Today he picked 2 multi-color koosh balls. Normally I would have made him pick one and put the other back, but those balls have been in there forever, so I thought it would be fine. He gave Nice Nurse her high five and ran out the door, yelling back "See you next Thursday"! We had a stop at the fountain (sometimes called a mountain now) and then headed to the car. He spotted the donuts again, and ran to them saying "sprinkles" but when I said "not today" he didn't even say anything, just kept walking to the door. :) My big boy!

Snack in the car! 

We got to daycare and Levi said bye bye to me and went off to play with his friends.

Around 12:00 the call came in from K, Levi's numbers were at 222! YAY!! The infusion did it's job! We are golden until next Thursday's blood draw!! :)
