Gimme some blood!
Ian gained a few extra grams today and spent a peaceful day until late afternoon when his next phase of treatment was administered. Ian received a blood transfusion, a procedure that is commonly conducted with 'preemies'. This is in fact his second transfusion and it will give Ian a much needed boost of red blood cells. This explains the IV tube on Ian's head, which he tolerated very well and which will be removed when the transfusion is over. At home, Barbara enjoyed some home comforts and home cooking courtesy of her sister Olive who with boyfriend Hugh have joined us to help out for a few days. Thanks guys!
