In with the New

It's been a rough day back in the Dakota's.
Mom spent most of her day in the hospital with her Mom (My Grandma Nani) because Nani was up all night with shortness of breath, and pain in her arm (from what I gather) Nani is currently in the hospital waiting for her blood to thicken and get an Angiogram.

While Mom was hanging out at the hospital she noticed her eyes were a hue of yellow, so she went to the clinic to see her doctors. After tests her doctor decided that since her Hemoglobin was low she should have a blood transfusion (to recieve blood) done tomorrow; so she will find herself spending time in the clinic tomorrow. The yellowing of her eyes was mostly due to the fact that she's burst a few blood vessels in her eyes due to vomiting and the yellow is a sign her eyes are healing from that trauma. To complicate things just a little bit Mom has a really rare type of blood so it will keep the nurses on their toes tomorrow for sure.

Here's an interesting article by the ACS as to why cancer patients may need a transfusion.

So, here we go Momma... in with some new blood to help your body heal!

Please keep her in your prayers as she heads to the clinic, and say a few for Grandma Nani too!

All the Love, Abby

and for the record if Nurse Shannon is tuning in... I googled the terms to make sure I didn't misuse them... how'd I do?
