June 23 - Blood Work

June 23 - Blood Work

Today is our first drive longer then 8 minutes in the car in big boy undies. I was a little nervous on how it would go. But it went amazingly well!!

Blood Work went fairly well today. There was no line no waiting at the lab so we were right in and out. Levi picked out a Dory band-aid and climbed up into the chair. He was all excited to open the band-aid all by himself! Nice Nurse did her normal job of getting the blood on the first try so that was nice! :) Right before she put the needle in his arm he looked at me and said "I have to go potty"! I told him as soon as we were done we would go. She got it super quick so that was a huge help. As soon as the band-aid was on we were off to the bathroom. We went to the one right in the lab. We got in there and he peed right away. After the initial need was done he looked up and saw all the lab cups and he goes "pee in cup! pee in cup please!". It was very cute. I got him to finish in the potty and he was so proud of himself. His big boy undies were still dry! :)

We got out of the bathroom and was off to pick out a prize from the treasure box. He was a little nervous at first as there was a lady waiting in the chair to be drawn, but once he got by her he was off to the box. He picked out an orange squirter. I convinced him to switch to the pink one since we already have the orange one (and the green one, and the yellow one) at home. He wanted it opened immediately and I said sure. He lugged it out proudly. He gave Nurse P a huge hug on the way out! She was in her office doing the next lady's paper work. The lady was all smiles and told Levi he was cute. I always worry about those people who are just going to be annoyed that he is taking a few extra seconds with the nurse, but it was nice that this lady wasn't one. As we were leaving P told me that she will be on vacation next week! And wished us good luck.

We got in the car and headed to Dunkin Donuts. It has been awhile since we brought donuts and coffee to his friends and teachers and it's been a stressful daycare week with the potty training and wearing big boy undies. So we were off. On the way there Levi got bored and decided to shred all of his apples into his lap. It made quite the mess!

Shredded Apples!

We got munchkins for his friends and coffee for his teachers. Levi asked for a chocolate donut and I caved and got him one. He did really well with it. Usually he just licks the frosting and sprinkles off, but he actually mostly ate this one (after licking off all the frosting!)

It may look like a lot is still there, but this is more donut then Levi has ever finished!

Drop off at daycare went well! His teachers were both over the moon excited to get some coffee and his friends were excited to get munchkins for snack! They were playing outside, so Levi was off and running with them with barely a backwards glance for me.

Levi's count came in around 1:30. Count is 214 today! Its a definite drop, but nothing to be overly concerned about with an infusion coming up next week.

Plan: Infusion on Tuesday 6/28.
