We woke up a little later today at 7am. When we got to the hospital Corgan had a new beanie on and his shades. Doctor Egner arrived shortly afterwards to take some blood to do a blood gas (this happens every day) as well as blood to do a cross match for a blood transfusion. Corgan had just had a successful blood transfusion from 13h50 to 17h50. His skin colour had already improved to a healthy looking pink rather than the pale white anemic colour he had been the last couple days or so. His ventilator machine kept beeping every couple minutes despite the fact that he was sound asleep and his body very calm and still. We watched this continue for an hour or so and we mentioned it to the night nurse after the change over. We were told that it was beeping because of Corgan's movements, but we disagreed...it just seemed to beep no matter whether Corgan was moving or not!
