Ok, sorry about the pun, but after speaking with Dad today while at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), our conversation was riddled with positive comments. Yes, Mom's blood type is "O positive".
Wow! Ask and you shall receive! Thank you to the two answers on the blog regarding typing and crossing the blood each and every time they give Mom a transfusion. Those answers were so thorough and informative. I appreciated it so much and I know many of us reading it got an education. I appreciate "annonymous's answer and your complete explanation as well Jonathan.
I spoke with Dad just a few minutes before 6:00 PM and they were still there. They had arrived around 10:00 AM and left and came back for the transfusion around 2:30 ish. They had finished the transfusion and she was just getting a hydration flush behind it. It had been a long day, but Mom was doing well. Sometimes she has a reaction after the transfusions, like spiking a fever etc. but so far, not so!
They were leaving there and going to get dinner on the way home so it will be a late night getting home. Dad said she felt so good she was suprised she even needed the blood.
Brian and I are in Leavenworth with the kids and Brian's parents for a few days enjoying some time with Glynn and Jane. I will be talking with Mom and Dad and updating you from here throughout the week.
Again, thank you to all of you who wrote on the blog. What a blessing this has been for so many, not the least of which is Mom, Dad and our family.
With much love,
Kimberly
