Maci had a very unexpected end to her 8 th grade school year. She ended up being hospitalized for very heavy bleeding with her first period. She called me from school saying she was bleeding heavy in the bathroom at school. I picked her up and ended up taking her to ER. She had an ultrasound and some blood work and we were told to monitor. Overnight her bleeding continued and she texted me at work. We ended up having another ER wait at Metro. Here they did more blood work, started an IV, gave meds to stop bleeding and also an iron infusion. We ended up getting admitted to the hospital and stayed for three nights while they watched her bleeding and blood levels. She ended up getting TXA again and also another iron infusion. Her blood counts got so slow 6.8 that they gave her 2 units of blood. She was not able to go on her end of 8 th grade trip to Mackinaw City. She was able to attend her awards ceremony and also her graduation ceremony and say her speech for distinguished graduate! We were thankful for the many prayers and support that were said on her behalf.
