Big day again today because I started back on "drips" of food...literally, DRIPS OF FOOD.
My IV is still in since we are going very S-L-O-W-L-Y.
My g-tube site is still pretty tender & infected.
BUT..I only had 2 doses of Ativan sedation in 24 hours (huge reduction from every other day.)
They did more blood tests on me and my "hematocrit" is low (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematocrit. They wanted to give me a blood transfusion, but my parents declined. My numbers are at the "HIGH" end of the "LOW" that they like to see and I am pretty pale. I have already had 1 blood transfusion and my parents don't want another one unless I ABSOLUTELY have to.
So, they are going to give me iron to see if this will help me.
Thankful for the faithful people who see me as well!!
