8 Hour Day at Texas Children's Hospital

Baylor had another yearly bone marrow biopsy today to check the condition of his bone marrow production. It's been low for some time. He still gets put to sleep for these procedures thank goodness. I hear they're pretty painful. Adeline had some things done today too. We had to take blood & do a cheek swab to see if she matched her big brother for bone marrow transplant if that is ever needed. Whew these days are tiring. Got here at 8:00. Baylor goes back for his anesthesia at 2:00. We're all starving because Bay can't eat. Except for Adeline who eats to her heart's delight & now weighs 14 pounds at 9 weeks! haha
Baylor was a trooper today. They have to put the IV in his hand always, but today the nurse missed the first try & had to do it over. That sucked. Can't wait to go home.
