Needless to say it was a rough night but, we're sure glad we decided to stay the night at the hospital. Lilly received a unit of plasma and red blood cells plus some meds to help coagulate her blood. Lilly continued to spit up blood from her gums, tongue and cheeks as shown in the pics earlier. She wasn't able to get much sleep because about every five to ten minutes she would spit or rinse and spit. There was a period when she (and us) actually fell asleep for about 45min but, when the nurse came in to check on her found Lilly sleeping in a pool of blood. Scary, I know! It's so hard to watch her be in pain and she her bleeding so much. I'm just so grateful for all the blood donors that have helped in keeping my Lilly in better health than what she could have been.
Finally, after a night of terror she's started to heal and feel better. So, thanks to all those that have prayed on her behalf, we know they have been heard. They checked her numbers and will be giving her more plasma, platelets, and red blood cells. It also sounds like they intend on watching her till tomorrow unless there's a great improvement.
This is just awful!! I'm so sorry!!
