Long day

So I am going to give you a quick summary of a long day. This morning when they did a CBC to check Mason's hemoglobin it was 4.4. That is critically low. So even though the surgeon had held off to give blood now it HAD to happen. Mason's blood pressure was very unstable and they had to put him on dopamine to help with that. He had decreased/no urine output. He is incredibly swollen...probably the worst that I have seen him. His head is almost shaped like a cone because gravity is pulling all of the edema downwards. Tonight his hemoglobin had improved to 8.6 which is still low but they are going to hold off on transfusing again since he is so swollen. Now his platelets have dropped as well to 39 so he will get some of them, as well as albumin. Urine output has improved which is good news. So we just have to move over this other bump in the road and keep pushing forward. He is pretty sick right now but I know we will get through it because we have God on our side and because Mason is one  tough little guy!
