The transfusion makes a big difference. He has way more color and the hint of a twinkle in his eye. We're still scheduled for his new line around 12:30 today. I'll breathe a little easier once that's over.

One Down, One to Go
Dialysis is done. It went much better today, mainly because we gave him Benadryl at the beginning and it calmed him down. He even fell asleep for a while. During his dialysis they gave him a blood transfusion, platelets and a dose of EPO. The EPO helps promote red blood cell growth.
