February 28 - Blood Work

February 28 - Blood Work

Today is the day of truth, the first day of knowing if we made the right decision yesterday or not. Levi is still very pale today and not really himself. Also he is starting to bruise (pretty typical for him 48 hours after a low drop is when we start to see the random bruising, I think it takes that long for them to come to the surface).

Mom was coming to blood work with us this morning for the first time ever. Will be interesting to see how Levi behaves with someone else there and how the draw goes.

We got to the lab and Levi went right to see his fountain, which still wasn't working. He was very upset that it wasn't working for Grammie to see!

Then we headed into the lab. He picked out his band-aid and climbed into the chair. He started playing a new game today, a train duplo game. It was cute.

The blood draw went ok! Not the greatest draw he's ever had, but he is still a little dehydrated from the past few days, and that always throws him off.

Once the draw was done he was off to the treasure box. P had found D'Angelo and Levi was super excited!! He immediately picked that and we were out of there.

We stopped at Dunkin Donuts on the way home to get breakfast for everyone and to kill sometime. I wasn't going to head to work until counts had come in.

Counts came in about an hour later at 121! That is quite the increase from yesterday! Hopefully the increases will continue and we did indeed make the right choice yesterday.

I headed off to work and left Levi and Grammie reading a space book on the couch! Hopefully they will have a great day together.

Next Steps: Blood Work again tomorrow to make sure that things are continuing in the right direction.
