Once a month, Luke needs to go to the clinic for blood sampling...through his finger. Although he has an implanted IV port in his chest, they only access it for blood samples when he is receiving IV chemo (the less they access it, the less risk for infection).
Luke wanted to watch this video 3 or 4 times. This is from this morning. We hope it gets much more tolerable for him. He has at least 31 more of these over the course of his treatment (which ends, God-willing, in August 2013.
Oh, by the way, "BandAid Junction" is the place within Texas Children's Hospital where kids go for a quick finger stick, bandaid, and back home. We actually hang around after the stick for the results. They could just call us, but we find the in-person interaction helpful.
What a brave young soldier you have there....Being three years old and experiencing all that he has over the past year. Blessings and prayers continue to come to you both & little Luke. We love you guys.
