Transfusion number two

Lucas was having a little more difficulty breathing and so last night they tested his hemoglobin and they found his levels quite low (83) and his coloring was quite pale. So last night Lucas received his second blood transfusion. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen through your body which explains why he was having more difficulty breathing. We’re at the hospital now and he looks much better today. He is pinker and has been having an easier time breathing today. We told him, that when he gets bigger it’s ok to give his brother a shot in the arm for hogging all the blood in utero.

Sebastian is continuing to do well, though he’s had a few dips in oxygen saturation which is to be expected. They continue to not need any respiratory assistance and are still growing.
