Part 2 blood transfusion

4th Aug 2010

Back to Frimley park hospital to have the next 60mls of blood. Again they need to take blood for cross match (check the blood with the donor blood) and see what her HB is so they can work out how much blood to give her.

While we were waiting a Dr came out and said that they had the results for the viruses, they were negative, which i know sounds good but what it means is that its something more serious wrong with her!

So because of this she will now need a bone marrow function test because they cant tell any more from ten blood, they need to look at where the blood is made.

Any way we go to get her blood taken and a canula put in, and we're hoping its straight forward because last the other day it took 5 attempts and its so distressing for her.
I think it was 3 attempts, they managed to get some blood but no canula.
Then it comes back that the one for the cross match had clotted so was no good and they need to repeat it! 2 more attempts!

By now its too late in the day for theta start a transfusion so we're asked to go back tomorrow.
