Early morning munchies...Turns into ER trip

4-15-12.....Well, Heaven had a decent night but was up at 3 a.m. eating grapes and drinking hot chocolate. What a mixture. Her nose didn't start bleeding until 12:10 p.m and it is still going at 12:55 p.m. I am giving her until 1:10 p.m. and then I am calling the Dr. to see what they want us to do. Please pray that it stops but where her platelets are low that is probably whats causing the long bleed. ♥ to all and hope you have a wonderful day in the Lord.
************************************************************************************
Will be heading to Roanoke in about 15 minutes. Gonna get Heaven some platelets. Her nose is still just a dripping, no matter how hard she tries to stop it. Bless her ♥ she so doesn't' want to go but we have to.
************************************************************************************
‎3 hours later and Heaven's nose is still bleeding. She threw up 4 huge blood clots in the restroom and just as I was trying to get someone a Nurse that had worked with Heaven on the Peds floor was walking by and I grabbed her. She still hasn't gotten any platelets as of 3:33 p.m. We are in the ER and it is pure H._.L.L in here. 3 people have died, several traumas have come in and the people at the Front desk.....I'll just stop at that. I have never been in this ER and I do not want to come back. I'll keep you posted as to how things progress.
**********************************************************************************
Heavens wbc is 0.6 and her platelets are 5 so probably after the Home Nurse draws labs we will probably be back up here for a blood transfushion on Tuesday.
**********************************************************************************
‎4 hours 10 minutes later and her nose is still bleeding. BP is 105/57
**********************************************************************************
 ‎5:55 p.m. almost 5 hours later.....her nose has subsided just a bit, but she was able to get a 2 huge clots up. They tried the nose tampons and she went balistic as it shoved one of the clots to the back of her throat and she couldn't breath to good and she finally was able to get it up. She is calm now and I think the nurses here finally see that I am not as dumb as they thought.
**********************************************************************************
‎10:50 p.m. and Heaven just now has gotten done with her 2nd blood transfushion. So, Lord willing, we will be on our wayhome in a little bit, not sure how long discharge papers will take. {{sigh}}
