June 22 - Blood Work

June 22 - Blood Work

We got to blood work today and there was no line no waiting! Levi was a little upset that we didn't have time to read his animal book, but it worked out well that we didn't have time because his animal book wasn't there.

We got inside and Levi started picking out a band-aid. He picked Shopkins and then wanted to find an ice cream one. We got the one he picked opened up and it didn't have an ice cream on it. I told him that we would be ok and tried to make him happy but P got down on the floor with him to go through the box and try to find an ice cream shopkin. They ended up opening 3 band-aids and still didn't find an ice cream one. Levi settled on one of them, and then P gave him the whole box and told him to take it home to find the ice cream one!

The blood draw itself went great as usual and Levi was off to the treasure box. He asked P for a "softy soft" and a "tighty tight" (a cotton ball and a tourniquet), she made him a whole little goody bag of them and the box of band-aids. It was very sweet and Levi was so excited. He picked a blue jump rope from the treasure box. He said "Look Mommy a boy rope!! The one at home is a girl rope!!" (It is Pink and Purple but we don't usually talk about boy and girl colors at our house) He was very excited to have a blue one. As we were headed out P gave Levi 6 penny's to make wishes in the fountain! He was so excited! So off we headed to the fountain! He loved throwing them in!

Levi asked if we could get a donut and I said sure. So off we headed to the donut lady. He was very polite and asked Please!! The donut lady is very impressed with his politeness and always gets so excited when we come by!

Off we headed to meet Naomi at 99!

Counts came in a little while later at 220! A decent number post infusion.

Next Plan: Blood work again next week, June 29.
