July 14 - Blood Work

July 14 - Blood Work

Today is a little different. We are on our way to VACATION!!!! :) Thomas Land, Sesame Place, Crayola Factory, and Maritime Aquarium here we come. But first we have to get the blood work out of the way. The plan is to leave the house at 7:00am and we pulled out of the drive way at 6:58!! Me, Levi, Jay, and Grampa were all on our way. The morning went well. A little hectic, but well. Levi woke up early which added to the hecticness, but all in all it went great. Since we were starting a Long drive Levi got to watch a movie and *shocker* he picked Sheriff Callie (our favorite car movie!) So it was a quiet drive to the lab.

We got to the lab and Levi showed Grampa and Daddy the fountain. Then we were off to see P. There was no line ahead of us, but she wasn't ready either, so we set down to wait for a few moments.

It wasn't long before it was time to head in. Levi picked out his band-aid and climbed up in the chair. The stick went well as always! Grampa and Daddy were there to watch and see that everything went well. He was off to the treasure box before you could blink an eye. He picked a pad of paper and a pencil! Then we were off to the fountain and out to the car. Levi knew that he got to go to Dunkin Donuts today so he was very excited. He played with the echo the whole way to the car and continued in the car, but all in all the morning went well.

It's nice to have other people along for the ride to blood work, but it adds some stress too as Levi and I have some routines that we do that no one else really knows. In the end things went well, but there were several moments of "Don't mess with the routine" and "He's good!"

We headed to Thomas Land! (Hence the Thomas outfit). When we stopped for lunch in the park I called for numbers but they weren't in yet. As we were leaving the park in the afternoon I called again and the numbers had come in. His count was down to 225. Not a bad number with an infusion coming up. But a definite drop from Monday (as expected).

Plan: VACATION!!! :) Ending with David's House and an Infusion  on 7/19.
