First doctor visit after leaving the hospital

We are at U of M hospital meeting with Dr. Boxer, the new hematologist. Andrew's platelets are at 19,000 so he needs another platelet transfusion. While at U of M, we also met with the nephrology nurse practitioner. She told us that Andrew will need to be on his blood pressure medication for two weeks before we see any regulation in his blood pressure. We are sitting in the pediatric infusion center waiting for the platelets. Andrew's port will need to be accessed for the first time since leaving the hospital. He has a special numbing medication,which should make the poke less painful.
