Blood Transfusion

Today Mom received her velcade chemo and a blood transfusion.  Her hemoglobin was 8.8 which was a bit higher than Wednesday but still too low.  The transfusion takes forever as they have to triple check the blood prior to giving it to Mom due to her myeloma.  Since she no longer has a pic line the transfusion took over 4 hours.  So Mom and Dad were at MDA today from 8am till 5pm.  At least they were able to watch some football once Mom got settled in the transfusion room.  They made it home safe but they are both tired ... I am tired just thinking about it.
