So the pole behind Jason's head has the blood for Elise's blood transfusion hanging on it.  Jason donated his blood yesterday and Elise is getting it today.  Her heart rate and respirations have come down since yesterday but her need for oxygen is still high and she desats very very quickly.  She is homesick, but is a real trooper with all the blood draws and meds that she is having to take.  It's hard for a 4yr old to not be in control of anything around her.  She is frustrated and tells everyone who comes in the room to "go away!"  We are still looking for a cause of the anemia so we know what to treat otherwise this blood transfusion will just be a short term fix.  Doctors think she will be here for another "several days" still.  Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.  Claire is doing well hanging out with family in Missouri, Jason and I miss her so much, but know she's in good hands.  Love you all, I'll update again tomorrow eve. -Kristin
