Our poor little Lilah is now dealing with a low hemoglobin count which is pretty typical. Sometimes babies born early have trouble creating red blood cells, and typically their hemoglobin bottoms out around 4-6 weeks of age. The kids are at four weeks, five days today.
This afternoon she was given a blood transfusion through an IV in her head. It sounds horrible and doesn't look all that attractive either, but she is doing okay!
We will know if her numbers rise sometime tomorrow when they re-test her. For now she is on IV fluids for 12 hours.
I will update you when we get the results. Stay safe on the roads out there tonight!
We will spare you a picture of Lilah's head. Here is cute little Alec instead!
