Not good news
Aria was supposed to be coming home today.
It is not to be
They checked her iron level this morning to double check the blood transfusion had done it’s thing. Turns out it hadn’t and her HB was only 63, only up 9 points and still really low.
The new theory is is that she has a virus that is breaking down the iron in her blood. I am trying really hard not to google to find out what kinda virus could do that. Doesn’t sound like a good one that’s for sure. There are something you would rather hear once the Docs have put their spin on it and this is one of them.
They have just done a finger prick now to re-test her iron/HB. Our hope is that the first sample was diluted because it was taken off her line and that happens sometimes.
We are so disappointed and nervous for her. Both Hamish and I are really tired from sleeping badly with sick kids and hospital nights.Â
Really hoping there is nothing serious going on with our girl 🙁
