day 2 in hospital

Fred was fever free all day while we waited for them to find blood for his transfusion.  He has antibodies that make his blood very "special" as one nurse told us.

They finally got blood and of course he started to run a fever.  They gave him antibiotics and by 8:30 tonight his fever was normal again.  They started the transfusion at 9:00 pm.  It will be a long night cause they are giving it to him very slowly to avoid any reaction to the blood.

I will post tomorrow how the first bag of blood went and see when and if they will give him the second bag.  They are trying to figure out where his blood is going that his number drop so drastically.
