Livin' at 7

My hemoglobin is in the 7's now. I was in the 9's then the 8's and now the 7's. I had IV iron about 5 weeks ago and we had hoped that would help but it didn't so now I sit at 7. I'm tired and pale. They are setting up a transfusion for me this week. I tried to avoid it but it looks like I will have no choice. I ran for an overhead delivery last week and was so short of breath that I thought I would need resuscitating before the baby. Luckily I recovered before the baby arrived. Whew! So, I should get blood soon and will hopefully get some color back in me. I'm pretty pale right now. I'll keep you posted.
