Preparing for Platelets
I bring Hayden in tomorrow morning for more platelets and IVIG treatment. I told Abby she could come with us but her cold isn’t gone yet, so I will have to explain to her once again the rules of day treatment; no sick people allowed to protect the other patients.
Now to add to the equation, one child may have pink eye at daycare, so I have to keep Abby home as well, so she doesn’t get it and then give it to Hayden. She is more than happy to take time off of Mother Goose Preschool to bake with Gma and play barbies all day! After all, we are setting up for a big wedding to happen with the barbies soon, only if Hayden will stop trying to put the barbies in his mouth!
Two more weeks of tax season for Rick, then we really have to buckle down and make a decision on the hospital for the BMT. Each year after tax season, Rick and I have taken turns planning a surprise get-a-way to celebrate Daddy being back in our lives evenings and weekends. This year we might have to travel to MN to check out the BMT program at Fairview, we will have to just kill two birds with one stone and make it fun! I am thinking a waterpark, but then I remember the germs that we will pick up…I will keep you posted on our decision!

Thank Goodness for April 15th!! At least one hectic phase of this year will be behind you & you can push ahead with all the other decisions you’ll be faced with. Hopefully with a little spring in the air, some of those nasty germs will be irradicated. Good luck with the IVIG today. MN is a nice place to visit, even if there is some business to attend to. Even if you can’t go to a waterpark, to kids, they don’t need anything grand to make it jun. An hour or two at Camp Snoopy in the mall will be very memorable for Abby!
