Annual Clinic visit

Today, Asher had his annual hemophilia clinic visit at Iowa City. It went really well and he did really well despite not being able to take a morning nap. We traveled over there yesterday because our appointment was early this morning. Asher did not sleep well at all last night and he did not take an afternoon nap yesterday, either. So we really did not know how he was going to be today at his clinic visit. He did really well despite not being able to play on the floor and only being able to sit on the table or with us. We got some really good information, especially on prophylaxsis treatment (prophy). We think that someday Asher will be on prophy (regular treatment schedule), but not sure when.

The only hiccup for the day was when they did the blood draw. We had to wait awhile for the lab to be available and then after they did his blood draw the cap fell off the tube and went all over! So, Asher had to get another blood draw and the second time went better! The first time the blood took forever to come out and the second time it came out faster.

Julie and I really like the treatment center at Iowa City. Karla and Tammy are great! It was so nice to see them again and gain some more valuable info.
