Whew, it has been a long afternoon and unfortunately it isn't over yet. Ryan had a scheduled lumbar puncture today. Although the doctor was running about an hour late, everything went fine with that. When the doctor got Ryan's counts back, he felt that he needed to get some red blood cells because his hemoglobin was low, so he sent him to Wayne Hospital from his office.
We arrived at Wayne around 5:15. They got him into a room around 5:30 and then had to draw blood to type him for the transfusion. That came back pretty quick, but it is 9:15 and they still haven't started the blood transfusion yet. He is supposed to come home directly after the infusion, but it will take at least 4 hours once they get started, he won't be done until early tomorrow morning!
Ryan is planning on attending graduation tomorrow night. I pray that all goes well with the transfusion of 2 units and that he feels well enough tomorrow to attend.
