January 16 - Blood Work

January 16 - Blood Work

Happy Tuesday!! With the holiday yesterday we decided to wait and do blood work on Tuesday. When we got to the hospital Levi's fountain was working for the first time in several weeks. He was so excited that it was working. I think he would have stood there and watched his fountain all day if I had left him.

We got over to the lab and there was a short wait, so we settled in with pictures and phone games!

Then it was time to head in and pick out his band-aid.

Levi climbed up in the chair and settled in to play on the tablet.

P's supervisor was in the lab and P asked her to watch what happened and how great Levi was. The blood draw went ok, but his arm is getting some pretty serious scar tissue and it didn't want to give blood. Levi did amazing while she dug around in there to try to get the blood, but in the end she had to stick him twice in two different veins in order to get the blood out. Levi did amazing with it all!

Then he was off to the treasure box. He settled on a bubble toy!

Counts came in later in the morning at 296. So a pretty big drop, but those are expected when he goes up that high. Hopefully he will be able to level out this time and last for a little while.

Next steps: Blood work on Thursday to get back on schedule.
