My hemoglobin was 8.5 and has been dropping so they transfused 2 units of red blood cells today. Benadryl and Tylenol for premeds, and everything went fine. They drew blood again this evening to check my platelets one more time since they were close to the threshold for transfusion this morning, as well. They're down to 25, and they want to keep them a bit higher than usual because of the Crohn's inflammation, so I'll be getting another transfusion in a little bit.
