An A+ transfusion, that is! He's okay - but he was delayed in going home yesterday because his hemoglobin was low enough to need a transfusion. He wasn't VERY low, but low enough. They kept him until about 6:30pm to give him two bags of blood (thank you to all of you that regularly donate blood) and monitored him for awhile to make sure there were no reactions. We now know his blood type is A+, which he didn't know before. So if (God forbid) we ever need to make a serious call for donations and platelets, all you A+ people be on standby, ok? :)
He's doing good today. He's home and resting because he's exhausted, but he plans to be back at work tomorrow. Thanks for all the love and concern!

Let me know if I can help - been A+ for 31 years.
ReplyDeleteYou can beat this, Scott!!
From Shawn.
Glad to hear he is feeling better! Wish we could start a "Scott's Chemo Adventure Donation Fund" to help you all out with all the time missed from work :)
ReplyDeleteI'm O+, but Pete is O- which I believes means he is a universal donor and I know he'd be happy to be Scott's "blood brother" lol!
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let y'all know i'm thinking about you. Love you! Rach
