May 17 - Blood Work

Happy Thursday! Levi's procedure yesterday went great so we were able to come home yesterday and do blood work today and tomorrow to make sure that all is good.

We got to the lab and P and I were talking about things and I told her about Levi's procedure and how we were coming for the next few days to make sure all was going well.

Levi climbed in his chair and settled in to play games.

The blood draw went super quick and easy as per usual and then we were off to the treasure box. Levi picked green maracas and enjoyed shaking them the whole way out of the hospital and all the way to school.

I was worried about counts all day as we needed to make sure that they were in a good place after yesterday. I kept bugging Jay every 30-45 minutes and of course he was busy at work since he was out yesterday so I know that I annoyed him. I called the house several times as well but the counts never came in. Finally at 3:00 we called medical records and they sent the counts over. His count was 248! So a great number, but very frustrating that we had to chase that number down.

Next Steps: We will do blood work again tomorrow morning to make sure that the counts are staying up where they need to.

Update: the fax did come in at 5:51pm! Almost 10 hours after we did blood work for a stat lab! That is ridiculous and totally unacceptable.
