Adam has been much less grumpy in the past 24 hours, back to his normal sweet self (mostly). Just in time for his next chemo dose which he received this morning at 11am!
They took his blood as usual, and this afternoon called to say that his haemoglobin is still low and he needs a transfusion. To put "low" into perspective, I googled "normal haemoglobin for children" today and found that the values for a normal child are 11-13 g/dl. Adam's is 5.5 g/dl. That qualifies as low in my book too. Sheesh, no wonder the boy has been grumpy!
Tomorrow morning we go back for the transfusion, and from there something fun to while away the rest of the afternoon. But maybe not buggy racing this time, I mean the boy is a cancer patient after all. :)
