Dad didn't get back to his room til 3:00. The blood transfusions took quite a while. They took it slow to try to avoid any reactions...so he did just fine with the 2 bags of blood. Sara came to visit and brought Dad some deviled eggs for Easter...in fact, that was the only thing that even resembled Easter today. It was great to see Sara! and Dad, even though not much for conversation today, really appreciated the visit. He's pretty much been sleeping or just lying around all day...just doesn't have the energy for anything else..and I'm sure that's just what his body needs...some rest to repair itself. He missed lunch altogether because he was getting the transfusion, but he ate a decent dinner, even though he wasn't thrilled with it. He had tomato soup, macaroni & cheese, cottage cheese, and pears....not bad.
So this is just one of those days that you just get through and go on to the next day. I will post tomorrow to let you know how Dad is doing then.
