His Hemoglobin was the lowest it has been today
Hi All;
Well - we went in for Earl's blood draw - he was so weak I had to take him in in a wheelchair. His Hgb was only 6.3, and his platelets were down to 8,000. This is after him getting 2 units of blood and one large bag of platelets this past Friday - the 10th. So we are scheduled for 2 more units of PRBC's and one large bag of platelets tomorrow. Where is it going - and am I looking at the final downhill slide?
I did get an emergency appt with the GI doc on Wednesday - the consult - because I want him to have an upper and lower GI, as well as swallow the pill cam to look at the middle section that is not viewable with the scope. Then we go back to the hema/onc on Thursday - was supposed to be tomorrow, but the blood takes precedence.
I am at a loss - don't know which way to turn, or what I am in for.
Beth
