This morning started off a little lazier then some. I was able to completely get ready before Levi woke up and then in fact had to go and wake him up! He was very sleepy this morning and a little on the lazy side. He was sitting in his crib and said "can't reach it mommy can't reach it" as he was barely holding his arm out. I said "can't reach what" and he said "owl" and almost started to cry. I kinda gave him a look and said, "owl is at your feet, bend in the middle and you can reach him" and sure enough he got owl, grabbed him, and rolled back over to go back to sleep. I got him up and into the bathroom to start getting ready. Today was PJ day at daycare so Levi got to put on his puppy shirt and pup tag pants and he was excited!!
We got in the car and headed to Dover. It was an uneventful drive there. Levi had his puppy cup so he was happy about that, and the ride was fairly quiet. We got to the lab and headed right in. There was no line no waiting. Levi picked out his band-aid and picked the "bunny one" today, which was bugs bunny. We got up in the chair and all ready to do the stick when the little boy and his mom who had gone before us came out of the bathroom, the little boy looked like he was going to faint or lose it, so Nice Nurse undid the blue strap on Levi and took off to go help him. Then she came back and started Levi's stick. He moved as soon as he saw the needle and she missed the vein today, but she got it in after a second. Not sure what made him move today he hasn't done that in a long time.
When the draw was done Levi hopped down and off to the treasure box. He picked a yellow squirt gun and was so excited. He gave Nice Nurse her high five and said "See you Thursday" and we were off to the fountain.
After a second at the fountain he asked for a donut and I said not here, Miss T has texted an SOS need for coffee and mommy needs gas so we will stop at Dunkin Donuts on the way to daycare. On the way to the car, Levi was playing with his squirt gun and was all excited. He looked up at me and said "mommy squirt me, mommy squirt me" and had this HUGE smile on his face. I said yes, tonight in the bath we will play!
We drove to Dunkin and then to daycare where drop off could have gone better, but wasn't the worst I have ever seen. Levi wasn't quite as messy with his donut as sometimes either.
We got Levi's numbers back around 1:00. His count is 197!! Not good. A 61 point drop since Monday. We called Dr. V to see if he wanted to move up the infusion since he said his new limit was 200. We finally heard back and he doesn't want to, so we are still scheduled for Tuesday. It is going to be a long weekend of worrying and watching his every move. I don't want to see how low his count will be by Tuesday :(
Prayers for as stress free and worry free a weekend as possible. Do they think his sleeping in/being on the lazy side has anything to do with the drop in his count?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The weekend went better then it could have!! I wish I could say yes, but sadly no, there seems to be no consistent link between anything. We have mapped and charted his sleep, his attitude, his eating, everything, and to this point nothing seems to consistently link. Everything is just up in the air. :(
