Hemoglobin (sp?) is low.

Late this morning, the nurses got Mitch into a stretcher chair. He got out of bed and sat in the chair for 1 hour -15 minutes. He did great getting into the chair. He is not allowed to bend more than 60 degrees, so that makes it a little tricky. He still got a little light-headed when he sat up. The nurse just came in around 3:30 and she said that they are going to give Mitch 2 units of blood. His hemoglobin is at 7...his normal is around 14. She said that giving him some blood should be the pick-me-up that he needs. Of course, that means more pokes from needles (which he absolutely hates) but he has been a real sport about it! I'm glad that they made this decision. He is just so weak and his color is a little pasty. This will be a 4 to 5 hour process. Thanks, once again, for the prayers.
