So, they started Ben on blood transfusion. They're hoping the increased volume helps his hr lower. Plus it should help oxygenate his blood and help his heart. It was slightly lower. High 160's instead of 180's. I guess it's something. I'm so sad about Christmas. We can only have 3 people in his room at a time. So obviously we can't do our big family Christmas in there. I hate thinking of him all alone while we do Christmas at the kohl's house. It breaks my heart. I think I'll stay with him. He is part of the family and should have someone with him :( someone asked about a picture. I have pictures on my phone, but can't figure out how to get them from my phone to the caringbridge page. If anyone know how, let me know! We're still praying for a heart. That would be the best Christmas present of all! Except for his elevated hr he is looking ok. They took him off morphine and versed. And switched him to Ativan. Of course if he's in pain or needs it he can get morphine or versed. But he's not in a continuous drip of it. So that's all for now
