Our first visit to the doctor at U of M went well. Andrew had to have a platelet transfusion (which we knew was probable). The child life specialist talked to Andrew about accessing his port. He got through this procedure with no pain because they gave him some numbing cream. The doctor gave us two pieces of good information: one, we only have to go to the hospital twice a week instead of three times a week, and two, he noticed that Andrew's blood had young red blood cells. He seemed encouraged by this. Hopefully, this is a good sign. We will have to wait and see.
So Andrew is home, and we don't have to go back to the doctor until Tuesday morning. We are all together again. If all goes well, this weekend will be quiet and boring.
