September 12 Clinic

Today was beyond frustrating…

I padded Jesse’s diaper before we headed down the road. At least I was able to avoid the stress of trying to get a urine sample.

However her lines, her lines had a different idea.

When we arrived at clinic, we weren’t on the schedule.  They were very gracious and added us on.

When our nurse went to draw labs nothing. This was at 8:30am. Around 10:30am TPA was put in Jesse’s lines to unclog them.  Around 11:30 am we tried to draw labs. White line… nothing. Red line… Halleluiah! I was concerned that Jesse was going to need blood since her red blood count was 7.9 when we left on Saturday.

Luckily Jesse’s blood counts were all great. Jesse always thinks being in clinic is great because she has a ton of people to pay attention to her.  Today I saw that her doctor gave her a stamp just so he could try to get something done because she wanted to “work” with him.

After labs came back, our nurse hepranized Jesse’s lines. In doing that, her white line finally gave us a blood return.

We headed home at 2pm. On the way Mike called to say he was working until dark the remainder of the week. It didn’t dawn on me till later that I have Jesse’s shot that needs to be administered.

Thankfully our neighbor had let Maggie out. I thought that Mike had talked to her about letting Maggie out, but I guess he thought I talked to her.

Around 5:30pm tonight I gave Jesse her shot. Christine held her hand, while I held Jesse in the car seat hold. She did amazing with me holding her and giving her the shot. She screamed and didn’t even cry.
