A day at the hospital

Leila's weekly clinic visit was eventful on Wednesday this week. She was due for blood counts only and NO Chemo. Her hemoglobin came back very low, so we had to head over to the hospital for a blood transfusion. This turned out to be a very long day for all of us. Things run very slow in the outpatient area and it takes at least three hours to administer the blood. The nurse has to monitor Leila's temperature and how she is doing during the transfusion in case of any reactions. All together it was another eight hour day for Leila. She was very good throughout the day and she and Deena kept busy doing Halloween crafts during our time there. Ziad met up with us at the hospital to help keep them entertained.
