Short Update

Dave is at the hospital now, getting a couple of units of blood. (His Hematocrit was down to 17 yesterday.) I'm here at home, with the flu, or something like it. He was pretty nervous about getting this transfusion and wanted me to sit with him while he got it, but not only am I feeling really lousy, but I was worried about infecting him and other patients in the infusion clinic. A friend dropped him off at the hospital this morning. His ride home is not firmed up yet, but something will work out. He did amazingly well with so few red blood cells, so I expect him to be feeling great when gets home this afternoon. More later . . .
