1st blood transfusion

30th April 2010

I got a phone call to say that Reagans HB levels were very low and i needed to bring her straight in for a blood transfusion!!!!! Wasn't expecting that at all!

It was decided that it could wait until morning because they wanted to check her over and keep her in for observation. They don't like to do transfusions in the eve or during the night just incase theres a reaction, they have more staff in during the day.

Her HB was 6 and it should be 12.

The Dr completely butchered her trying to get blood and a canula in, it was awful she was screaming so much.

She was a given 60mls of blood over a time of 3-4hrs.
They also found that she had a urine infection that they wewre going to treat with antibiotics.
