Nose Bleeds


Every day for the last month has been an adventure...you never know what is going to happen.
Today, we woke up to Bella having ANOTHER bloody nose, after cauterizing it the day before AGAIN.
I knew she just needed a transfusion, and with surgery tomorrow they were planning on it anyway.
So off to PCMC we went, nose plug on and ready to go!

Bella of course was a trooper and kept it on the whole time...not even complaining.
We got to the clinic, and a nurse Paige was SO excited to see Bella-along with everyone else.
She totally plays off it, and tries to make them all smile...it's the cutest thing.

The transfusion went smoothly, but her little nose would not stop.
They didn't want to send us home with it still bleeding, so we waited.
She fell asleep in my arms (which never happens), and I rocked that little sweety for almost 2 hrs.
They ended up spraying Affrin up her nose to help constrict the blood vessels, which I think helped.
We finally got to home around 6pm, and we both were exhausted and ready to leave.

We are hoping she sleeps well tonight even though it's still bleeding a little.
Big day tomorrow...she will be getting her central line put in (port).
Im excited, nervous, but overall just relieved we can start this whole process!
