July 26 - Blood Work

July 26 - Blood Work

We got to the hospital and parked on L2 again which made Levi super happy! Then we headed into the lab, Levi was practically dragging me to go see P. We turned the corner, and uh oh, No P! Levi was disappointed, but we headed right in and he got his band-aid and climbed up in the chair to open it.

 I handed him my phone to play with as generally only P can get the tablet to unlock, but S was able to do it, so then he had both.

The draw itself went.... It wasn't the worst ever, but definitely not a P draw either. S said "There is quite a bit of scar tissue there" as she was digging around trying to get it into his vein. He said "ouch" and "your hurting me" several times, but he never cried, so that is good. And he did keep going back to his game. Eventually she got it to go and the tubes were filled, but it wasn't quick by any means, and not a first time hit either.

Then we were off to the treasure box. Levi opened it up and gave it a glance with his hands on his hips, like something should be in there that he really really wants.

 He found a blue owl, like his green owl, and said it was for me, as the Mommy owl! He also found a wooden truck that has to be built. Since the draw didn't go quite as well as normal I let him take both.

 I asked if he was giving high fives today and he hid behind my legs and shook his head. I don't think he wanted to go anywhere near S again. I felt bad and so did she!

Then because it was Thursday we were off to the donut lady! He was very excited to show and tell me that there were 2 sprinkle donuts today.

 When it was his turn he ran over to give her a hug before ordering his donut and paying for it, and then we were off to the car. He was being a little goofball this morning in the car!

I dropped him off at school and headed home as we have the home inspection on our new house today. Before Jay headed over to the new house he checked the fax machine again and results still weren't there, 2+ hours after the lab. I was getting worried, especially knowing that our counts are falling and we have a crazy week ahead. The inspection went great!! And we should be closing on our new house on 8/31. On the way out we finally got the fax! So 6+ hours after the draw on a stat lab! So frustrating. His counts are 149! So we are in the warning zone (under 150), but not yet in the danger zone of under 100! Phew, we can get thru the weekend and get done what we need to. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed that Monday's draw comes back ok, so that we don't have to move closing on our current house out as it is scheduled for Tuesday 7/31.
