Without a hitch...

sort of.
Olivia had her labwork done this morning and we came home right after. How often has that happened lately? The lab was missing the order and it did take us an hour and a half from arrival to departure, but at least we are home. We did miss preschool today because we didn't get back to Macomb in time, but it was kind of nice to have a lazy afternoon.
Olivia just can't catch a break, though. We got home and within the hour, her Home Health nurse was here to administer her Synagis shot. And since she is so big now, she has to get a shot in both legs. If you count both Lovenox injections, her labwork, and the Synagis, the poor girl was stuck 5 times today. She is bruising so easily these days (due to the low platelets). Her bleeding has pretty much stopped, but she has had a few instances where her nose bleeds a bit, but stops right away. Also, the sites on her tummy where she gets her Lovenox shots are bruised and keep seeping off and on. I can't explain how tired I am of seeing blood! I did, however, get all the blood from the other night out of our carpet! That was definitely a bonus! We'll probably take her in tomorrow morning for a CBC to check on her platelets and see how she's holding up.
Is it bad to be excited about Olivia's procedures next week? I am so ready to find out what is going on inside that little body of hers and get some answers. Plus, when she gets that central line put in - no more pokes for IV's or lab draws! Yippee!
