Susan here...
Nathan had a red blood cell transfusion today. His white blood cell count is down to zero and he is feeling crummy. For the second time in a row his blood didn't arrive at the clinic as scheduled and we had to hang around an extra hour. Exactly what we didn't need today. So we were there from 11 am to 3:30. Between three days of chemo last week and three transfusion this week I have spent way too much time hanging around watching IV pumps count down. Fortunately he won't go in tomorrow. His regular doctor was out. The other doctor isn't quite as conservative and thought he could wait until Monday for a platelet transfusion. I am very grateful for that.
Nathan used to be very independant and play by himself alot. Now he expects people to be playing with him constantly. I guess he has gotten a little spoiled. I can only take so much of playing at a time and then he screams at me to play with him. I feel bad since he can't play with his friends very often so I try to do what I can. Fortunately his grandparents have been doing a lot of playing. It is tiring.
