another hitch in our get-along

Logan had routine labs drawn this morning, and we were able to assess the status of his anemia. It wasn't any better, and we elected to proceed with a blood transfusion. Unfortunately, this resulted in a new IV for Logan, but the nurses said he handled it very well and didn't fuss. He tolerated the transfusion well and seems to be a different kid already. He ate very well this evening and was alert and interactive for over an hour. Hopefully tanking him up a little bit will help him feel better and help with the alarms as well. . . we'll just have to see. We got home from the hospital a little early tonight so we're trying to get some more chores done in anticipation of the little nugget coming home. Day 2 of "spell watch" is complete and, barring no complications, we're on track to bring him home late this week.
