Mieson did great on his cat scan. He slept through the whole thing. Instead of going into the ER, I was able to sit and talk with one of his nurses. She did a check on the results of his last blood work. It revealed that even though he had 2 back to back blood transfusions in a months time, his sickled blood is at 39%. They thought that the first transfusions would have lowered his sickled blood lower than that. So we have to meet with his doctor on Monday. To form a new plan of care. We are going to talk about increasing the transfusions and a procedure called apheresis. Which is when they take out your sickled blood and replace it with the blood of a normal donor. She stated that Mieson is an extreme case for them. Hes the only patient in his age group with chronic pain. I am so glad that my mom came along. This is so tough.....man this is tough.......Get well Big Man.
