Hasbro Visit

Today was Gavin's 4-6mo check up at Hasbro Peds G/I. I was unable to go this time because Connor is home sick from school today. The poor guys has a high temp and really bad running nose. So he was all set up with breakfast and a movie.



There was no sense in tossing a coin on who was going to go with Gavin as I have been told in a very nice and politically correct way (by the Doc) that it was okay to reschedule... if Peter was not able to come with me. He didn't think I should come by myself again. I cannot figure out why???

Gavin was all set with his backpack filled with cars! And of course a cereal bar and lollipop bribe (no judging please).


Every time his weight and Height is checked:


and his least favorite test... the blood pressure "machine". I'm shocked he actually sat somewhat still for it this time. On the last visit they couldn't even get a reading he was freaking out so much.


So... the visit went well! His liver tests are right where they should be and all of his other tests, white blood cell count and red blood cell count and platelets, etc. are up this time! But again... I keep getting told that they will go up and down. Focus on the small victories! He even thinks that his spleen may have shrunk a little more! Yippee! The doctor wants us to go see the surgeon again some time before our next visit with him which is in 4-6 months. He wants the surgeon to be familiar with Gavin in the event they decide he needs surgery down the line.
So... since he was so good he got his lollipop and a visit to the water fountain...


And fish tank...


I think a visit to the gift shop may have happened because 2 new buses have been added to our car stash here!
So it was a good visit, and I can breathe again... till next time. Thank you all for your positive thoughts, wishes and prayers! They really do work!
We love you lots.
