"Bloody Monday"

E. had to go to the Infectious Disease doctor's office today for labs. All the infusion patients have to get blood drawn on Mondays ... so the nurses are busy being vampires on Mondays, drawing blood, blood and more blood, much like an assembly line. Somewhere along the way, they've dubbed Mondays as "Bloody Monday." It was funny to hear patient after patient approach the receptionist's window and say, "I'm here for Bloody Monday."

Since he does not have a PICC line, E. also got a new IV while we were there (I guess peripheral IV's are only good for four days or so). The daily IV infusion of anti-biotics at home is going well and hopefully when the lab work returns tomorrow, we'll find out that his blood still looks nice and clean.
