Lyla had a pretty good day today as she tries to recover from her virus. All the results have come back negative for a virus, but she is obviously sick, along with everyone else in the family and is coughing quite a bit. Her hemoglobin levels are getting low (10), which we're told is normal for a baby of about 6 weeks old. To help her get the extra oxygen support and blood help she needs, she received a red blood cell transfusion last night at about 8PM. We'll see how she handles it, but the consensus among the doctors is that this will help her oxygen transport to the rest of the body and get her functioning near normal to aid her recovery.
