Another Transfusion

So far, no more bleeding but they did want to give him one more unit of blood.  His count was still low, so trying to boast it up with another pint.  They finally gave him a tray of real food and he ate every bit of it.  Once his blood count is stable and they get the coumadin levels stable, he will be able to come home.

Talked to a doctor this morning and she said there is never a good way to know when that type of bleeding is happening except to get monthly blood tests. Nothing can be done to prevent it and nothing he did triggered it. Not an unusual occurrence for someone on blood thinners for that many years.

Dan and Diane are in CT for Luke’s hockey game and will stop to see him on Sunday. He’ll be very happy to see them. Dan is keeping him updated on Luke’s game tonight with texts.

What Ed needs now is to get his body moving after being in bed for almost a week. I’ll give him a few days of rest and to catch up on all the shows/movies he has recorded, and then it’s back to Silver Sneakers
