The saga continues...this morning we saw the local hematologist to get the order for the blood transfusion. We went to the local hospital with the order to have Fred's blood typed and cross matched. The blood transfusion was scheduled to tomorrow.
We received a call later this afternoon from the local doctor saying that Fred's blood has some strange antibodies and they needed to do more blood work at the hospital. We went to the hospital and had 6 more vials taken to more closely type and cross match. Due to these antibodies the blood transfusion (2 units) will take longer than the 6 hours they originally told us. They also told us not to come at 8 am tomorrow as planned, but to wait for them to call once they find the correct blood with antibodies the Fred needs.
I'll keep you posted.
