We went to town yesterday & took Christian to have his blood drawn. The results weren’t good. His platelets dropped down to 60k. The nurse from Riley said it’s okay and he’s still on track… but.. it still worries me. I hope she’s right and the next count, in 2 weeks, will be up again.
On the way to the hospital, we drove past this pile of garbage. I couldn’t believe what I saw. At first, it seriously shocked me. The shock only lasted for a matter of seconds but… it was still shocking.
Once we got to the hospital, I realized I should’ve stopped and picked it up and I had probably missed my chance. We tried to hurry & get everything taken care of. Thankfully, the whole process never takes more than 15 minutes.
Christian, Kalie & I jumped back into the hearse and raced off to the trash pile. And wouldn’t you know it… we got stuck by a stupid train. That thing had to be 200 miles long and moving at a rate of 3 miles an hour.
Christian kept saying “We’re not gonna make it!! Someone else is gonna get it!! Stupid train!!” The only response I could come up with was “I know I know!! Come on you stupid train!!”
The train finally passed and we drove 3 or 4 blocks and CRAAAAP!!! The garbage truck was RIGHT THERE!! He was at the house right next door and I was like NO NO NO!! I hurried and pulled into the parking lot beside the trash pile, slammed the car into park, turned it off and jumped out, almost killing myself with my seatbelt. “Hey dummy.. You gotta take the seatbelt off in order to get out.”
I ran up to the garbage pile and grabbed my new prize. This sucker’s going in the back of my hearse for all the window peepers. =D I may make him body, put a blindfold on him and tie him up. Bahahaaaa
