Al admitted to hospital
Had the scare of my life yesterday. Al passed out and I couldn't get a response for a few minutes. He was on the floor and gagging and threw up. I called 911 and he was admitted to Emory. So far he has had two units of red blood which were at an all time low of hematocrit 20. The two units have only brought his hematocrit up to 26 so they may need to give him more. We will be here at least another night and when I know something I will post. He is better but was very weak. I did a terrible job of holding it together I'm afraid. I HATE MDS!
Till later,
