Just a quick note from the hospital to let you know what is up with Tess... 

She has been hemmoraging from.... somewhere and they took her off blood thinners and will be transfusing her with a couple of pints.  Her hemoglobin had fallen to 8 so they decided to pump her up with some fresh blood.  They will be giving it to her the next hour or so.  She has a funky anti-body in her blood so it is a pain to match.

I passed on your many messages of support and encouragement and she was very grateful for all of them. 

Thanks all and I will keep you up to date on this little hiccup.

Kevin

Wow!  I had a similar thing happen while I was in the hospital.  My hgb dropped to 8.2 and they told me if it went as low as 8 they would give me a transfusion but luck have it I did not get that low.  I do think it set me back a little because you are weaker than normal.  I hope she feels better after getting her transfusion.  Will keep her in my prayers that this helps and that she can spring the place soon!!!   Donna

Sounds like it will be corrected soon.....They must be looking for where she is bleeding from????   I can't help but think about the rest of your family and your mother.....are they nervous wrecks.......no hiccups would have been good after your eventful surgery!   :O)

Kevin,

Tess has been on my mind the last few days and I will continue to say some prayers for her.  I hope things begin to look up and she's on the mend soon and back in her own bed at home!

Kevin,
I'm sorry that Tess has a bit of a hard time post op.  I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. 
Don't forget to take care of yourself, as well.

Have a Great Day!!   Kirsten
