Ryan did get up early this morning and head into Greenville to get his blood drawn. He wanted to be back home early enough that he didn't waste all day getting the job done. He was gone almost two hours to get his blood drawn and get his dressing changed, so he didn't get home as early as he thought, but the whole day was not wasted. He laid down for a little while when he got home because Aubrey was supposed to take a nap, but that didn't happen, so he got up and took her outside while I did some work in the kitchen. After lunch they both took naps.
We went to Red Lobster for supper tonight, used a gift card that we received in the mail! It was great. We went with some friends of ours that live in Troy and then we went to their house and made smores and Aubrey played with one of their daughters on the swing set. They both ate plenty of marshmallows, but they ran around enough to get rid of all their energy before bed time. I had been wanting to eat at Red Lobster two weeks ago when I came home Friday night and Ryan wasn't feeling well. It tasted even better after waiting so long :)
We saw a few fireworks while we were in Troy tonight and Aubrey thought we were having a birthday party. I told her it was America's birthday, but I don't think she understood. She was happy when I told her we would see more fireworks tomorrow. We'll see if she stays awake for them.
Ryan's platelets were 15 today, lower than Thursday, but not low enough to infuse unless he's bleeding. His hemoglobin stayed the same from Thursday and his white count made a small jump again. We are praying that his platelets kick in and begin rebuilding so that he doesn't have to get platelets Monday. I'm worried that because of the 4th, there won't be many people around and that it could take all day to get a bag of platelets to Greenville.
