A Long Day

We awoke in the  morning  thinking we had the morning to work around the home. But  we received a phone call to get to the pediatric surgeons office ASAP for a consult that had been originally scheduled for 2 pm.
This consult  was in preparation for a porta cath insertion.

a temporary tube insertion that can be used for either drawing blood or delivering meds

By 10:00 a.m. we were in the physicians office.

The doc sent us straight from his office to the hospital to register and do the preliminary work for a 7:30 a.m. insert in the morning. Jethenro's blood work showed that he would need a platelet transfusion. It took awhile for the Dr.s to coordinate the order, and to get the transfusion delivered.

The nurse  ordered a lunch for Jethenro, so he had something to eat. Marci snacked, but Don waited until we arrived home.

By 5:30 p.m. were on our way home...

A long day indeed.
