On Weds Noah had a blood draw, and his hemoglobin had dropped to 7.2.  By Friday he was so lethargic that he was desaturating, not nursing well, and his “awake time” was spent laying limp.  I called Friday, and they determined he needed a transfusion.  After spending much time on the phone,  it just wasn’t going to work  to have it done in Mankato (frustrating!).  Saturday he would have a transfusion in Rochester.

Meanwhile Dave and the boys had a parade on Saturday.  I was so sad to be missing it as it is an important campaign day.  My sweet friend Carol gave up parade day and played valet for us.  She’s the best!

After the transfusion, Noah had the most energy ever!  He was hungry and busy, and I happily stayed awake with him most of the night:)
