So not great news. Here we are back at Sloan. We had been adjusting Cody's feeds and trying to make it so he is not nauseous in the mornings. So the plan for Saturday was to run the feeds Friday night till around 12 and then see how he is in the morning. He woke up without nausea and we started the feeds again. He looked and felt fine. We had a full day and he ate lunch, took a nap and did a driving lesson. Then we went to the hockey game. He seemed a little tired but had a few busy days. We took the walk down to the locker room after the game. We were standing talking with Josh, his player and he asked to go to the bathroom. He did not have to go but did not tell me this, he needed a place to sit down. He came out and was white and said he was dizzy and that he needed to sit and kinda collapsed in my arms. Josh scrambled for a chair for him, then Ann, our good friend there, called the paramedics that were still there. We got Cody to a chair and checked his pressure which was low. I called Sloan and he was in the ambulance being transported here. They had to put an IV in while in transport, his pressures were not good. Once here they did bloodwork and his hemo was low and platelets were a little low. We were in Urgent Care till around 5am. He got some antibiotics and a stress dose of steroids. We both tried to sleep and got a little but then go to the room and he needed a transfusion of whole blood. No reactions, thank goodness. It has been a long time since he needed it. So I am sitting here now, waiting for the drs to give us the plan. I will be back later...
