April 3 - Blood Work

April 3 - Blood Work

Since Levi's count was still under 150 we did blood work again this morning. Mr. Levi decided that very early in the morning was a good idea to wake up, so here is the very tired little cutie on the way to the lab.

We got to the lab and there was no line no waiting! You would think this would be great, as when we have to wait Levi asks every time "is it my turn yet?" and "can i go in?", but today the fact that there was no line or waiting was not a good thing! We had a total and complete melt down. Threw ourselves on the floor at the door to the lab and wouldn't go in! He wanted there to be a wait. When I could finally get him to calm down and explain why he wanted there to be a wait it was because he wanted to read his animal sounds book! Well at least there was a reason!

Once we got into the lab everything went well as usual. P was ready for Mr. Levi and the draw was quick and easy. Levi picked his band-aid and once again picked a fishy band-aid. We talked about how there were only a few left. P overheard us and after he got his she hid the box so that they would only be able to be used for him. We are now down to 2 in the box! Please everyone keep an eye out for them.

Once we were done Levi was off and running to the treasure box. He dug around all the big stuff and picked a yellow kazoo from the bottom. He was super excited about it!

Levi gave his hugs and kisses and for the first time ever Levi took off towards the front door of the hospital and not towards "his" fountain! I was only a few steps behind him today so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But we had a discussion about it and I carried Levi out of the hospital with him crying because he didn't get to see his fountain and didn't get a donut.

We settled down once we got to the car, and had a good if not tired drive to school.

By 10:00 counts still hadn't come in. By 10:30 we figured they weren't going to come in, so Jay called the lab. He got a hold of someone who knew Levi's name and that we were supposed to get the labs faxed to us and she sent them over right away.

Levi's counts today were 316!!! A 176 point jump since Thursday! Wow! We haven't seen numbers like that since early 2016!!

Next plan: Blood Work again on Thursday just to get us back on schedule!
