Blood Work because of low platelets

We arrived at the hospital at about mid day.

Abdullah got his blood work done; the platelets were in the 30s today, i.e. the count were improving. His wbc count was over 10 and hemoglobin was in the 90s. All was good. No platelet tranfusion required.

He was now off gcsf , needed no more pokes. The nurse tried to heprenize his CVL the yellow one worked but the blue refused to flush. They were going to send us of for an xray to ensure that the CVL was in the right place, when I requested the nurse to push and pull a little harder. Abdullah raised his hands and started singing and his line started working. Lucky us no need to take him for the xray. Though I realized that if the home care nurse would be unable to flush we would have to go back to the hospital to do that x ray and potentially have to spend another day at the hospital.

Abdullah bought a R/C helecopter from the toy stalls in the lobby and we went back home.

We were at the hospital for 7 hours, and the entire trip was slightly over 8 hours. We left the house at 11:00 am and got back home at 7:30 pm.
