Blood Transfusion Monday

There has to be a better way to do this stuff. We are finally home after a very long day. As expected, Sandi's blood counts fell off a cliff again. Unfortunately, whatever momentum we had last week post chemo when her numbers were a little better than normal is now completely gone. She set new records today for how low she has gone.

So, that meant a unit of plasma as well as two units of blood over at main hospital. It took them almost four hours to finally get her started. Once they did get going things went okay. This time her blood pressure stayed up and did not drop in a hole like it has done before.

Unlike many patients who feel better after having a transfusion, Sandi does and will feel way worse. No doubt she will be very sick tomorrow.

We go back Wednesday to do it all again and then again on Friday.
