Roller Coaster Day

Logan has had so many ups and downs today I can't keep up.  He had a terrible night.  Vomiting every 2 hours like clockwork.  This morning he woke up feeling okay and able to sit up for a few hours.  Then the vomiting started again.  

He is also low on red blood cells and platelets and got one bag of red blood cells transfusion but they had to wait until this afternoon for the platelets (too many things running on his pump and not enough room).  After the platelets were finished they started right in on the second bag of red blood cells and that's when we noticed the rash and hives.  They suspect it was another reaction to the platelets (he has had a reaction before) but since they were giving him blood at the time they stopped the transfusion and sent both bags out for testing.  After a double dose of benedryl for the reaction Logan's vomiting has picked up again.  Then a little bit ago his nose starting pouring blood for no apparent reason.  With only one bag of blood transfused he can't afford to lose any more and it took 35 minutes (and more meds) to get his nose to stop bleeding.  I'm ready for this day to be O.V.E.R!
