Andrew got blood and platelet transfusions today. We arrived at the infusion center at 8:30 this morning, and it took four hours for his blood levels to be checked. His platelet and red blood cell level were both slightly above transfusion level, so they rechecked and confirmed them, then decided to give him both transfusions anyway.
We have been in the infusion center for eight hours, and the blood transfusion is ongoing. There is only one other person left here, so there is a very good chance we will be the first ones in this morning and the last ones left this afternoon. That is quite a feat because they were double booked in the infusion area throughout most of the day because of the holiday, and they did about 25 infusions here today. Hopefully this will help his blood counts though.
Andrew has been in good spirits throughout the day, playing Zingo, putting together 100 piece puzzles, and watching a movie.
