Gemma Rose






Poor Gemma came home from school yesterday completely exhausted. She did not want to do anything . When I asked her what her favorite thing of the day was , she said ...lunch and nap time! That's my Gemma Rose !
She was due for her transfusion this week and her hemoglobin had dropped VERY low . Her little lips were so white.
Today she is feeling much better. It's amazing how a little blood can make her feel energized and ready to go . She will have to go back to receiving her transfusions every 3 weeks because 4 was a little too long .

  3. Hi Ann-
    We are bringing home a little one that needs transfusions too! Our Mia has them every 4 weeks. I am not sure what to expect- is there anything we need to bring to China for her? I am going to ask that they transfuse her close to when we pick her up.
    Blessings,
    Jean
