Blood Transfusion

Madison had a tough day yesterday. She had a blood transfusion due to her low blood level. This is typical for preemies. I was able to donate blood last week just in case she needed it. I'm glad that I was able to do that for her. In order to get an I.V. into her for the transfusion, it took about 2 hours! Madison was not too happy about this. The transfusion was successful, but everthing took a toll on her. Her oxygen levels returned to normal after the transfusion, but her heart rate was abnormally high. We are hoping that everything resolves itself soon. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
