Blood Transfusion

Soooo here is what's going on:

Tuesday, February 3, 2009

9:45AM - We go to Zangmister (Cancer Center) to see the financial advisor guy to help mom out on her medical bills.

10:00AM - Finance guy Brian notices how ill mom is feeling today and gets nurse.

10:05AM - Mom gets vitals checked from nurses and such. EVERYTHING IS LOW... Blood pressure (which is usually super high) white cell count is dangerously low, red cell count is crazy low... hemogloben craziness is going on. Along with Iron and potassium

10:20AM - They take mom back to fill her up with fluids....

Time gets fuzzy at this point, but they were back there until 1pm.

1pm - I take mom on our way to St. Ann's hospital to get a blood transfusion.

They are waiting on us! We go right back... she get's an IV (which was already still in her which made it a bit easier... Mom has bad veins too!)

We wait now for more blood test.. and wait for 2 units of blood to show up.

5:30PM - blood transfusion starts... each unit takes about 3 hours.

6:00 pm - Mom Get's admitted to room 211 at St. Ann's hospital in Columbus.

Uncle John comes and takes over while I get much needed sleep.

9:00PM- I go back.

Pastor Harold and Ken visit!! =) We love them!

I stay unitl 11 then she sleeps..

My BFF Linda takes mommy food (hospital food sucks!)

Grandma stays with mom all day (so I can rest up to work the night shift!)

Aunt linda and uncle john visit ( so i hear =) )

Mom get's 2 more units of blood...

TODAY!!!

She should get to go home... I took her breakfast.. and we'll know more soon!

Thanks I'll keep you as updated as possible!


Just so everyone also knows, we were well aware this may happen. She had one in June of 2008 as well, so no worries this should actually help her with chemo. Just keep her in your prayers!

Love you all!
