TRALI - A Reaction to Transfusion

I had my second reaction with this blood transfusion, it was stopped short after my first unit of blood during my #234 transfusion. The doctors called it a TRALI - Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury. It's very rare, the doctor only had seen one other reaction like this before in a cancer patient. Of course I get a reaction like this, how annoying. If all goes well during my upcoming Bone Marrow Transplant, I won't have to worry about reactions anymore! (Please see my instagram and scroll back to April of 2022 for more information.)

Mia's 204th Blood Transfusion

Yay for feeling better - we were worried with the Corona Virus

Pandemic that Mia wouldn't be able to receive her normal

2 units of life saving blood.

BUT she was able to get 2 units of O positive blood.

Thank you LORD!!!!

She always has a good Benadryl nap in the morning - hey forced

naps are awesome! What a great way to get our body some rest.
