Appearances are deceiving and blood transfusion

Over the past few days Mlg has been eating and drinking regularly, she has loved playing; walking and feeding ducks yet the chemo is taking its toll. Mlg’s haemoglobin levels have been dropping steadily, having been lulled into a sense of security it looks like the Little One will have to have a blood transfusion. How will she cope with this? When Mlg sees the nurse she cries ‘NOT ME! Not me!’ What will she think?

 What did she think? Hours later we found ourselves at the local hospital having yet more blood taken this time to check the type. Once again Mlg cried out those words that penetrated my heart and soul, ‘Not me, I’m better now’ And so we waited for hours (at a friend’s house and then home) for the blood to be delivered to the hospital
