Title: More Iron
Post by: ODAT on April 04, 2008, 08:13:28 AM

Mom got an arensp shot yesterday plus a vitamin b and a whole unit of iron transfused. Her blood level was 33. They want to keep it between 33 and 35 in preparation for her knee surgery. They are also having her do another stool test because they found blood in her stool. I'll keep you posted.

Oh man!!! Hope it goes well with the test, just what she does NOT need, another complication!!!

I am hoping her numbers are doing okay. Won't know until April 22. It's hard for us and her because on the outside she looks healthy. Just want her insides to behave or I'll smack that  :sir ken; (come on...that guy has to be the most popular!).

Thanks for the support!
