Kittyfoot, have they found the cause of the hemoglobin drop yet? We went through this with my mom back in August. With her in OK and me in CA. Yeah, I know the feeling of not being able to get there. It leaves you scared as hell, frustrated and not knowing what to do!
Let her know she is in my prayers.
Something to Consider.

Thanks for those who understand... for the rest...
Barb has always been anemic and 2 years ago we had her tested with everything the doc's could think of and eliminated every disease they could think of.... and then some. This was right after she'd got chemical poisoning from.... of all things.... the chemicals used to make a "new fesh scent" in a pail of Cat Litter.
With this last episode, when we talked neither of us knew about the criticality of her condition. They didn't tell us that part until later. The "decision to wait" was based on the "we need you to go get a transfusion" message alone and we both discussed it. Neither of us was aware of the danger she was in.
Talked to management after the fact about what would have happened if I had blown straight home. Even though they "understood", yes I would have been fired and lost my $1000 safety bonus.... and had a hell of a time getting hired by any other tanker outfit. God help me if I'd had an accident on the way. Huge lawsuit, quite possible jail time.... and as an non-citizen.... deportation forever. Not as simple as some would paint it.
There are those here who are so wrapped up in themselves and their own supposed importance that they run their mouths without benefit of working brain. Yes, this is a true happening. I've seen drivers in worse circumstances, including a child killed while they were thousands of miles away.
My purpose is indeed to let the newbies and wannabes know that they themselves may one day face a similar problem and to seriously think about how they feel about that before they join us.
Again, thank you to those who include us in your prayers. God Bless You All.GuysLady, JustSonny, Texas-Nana and 4 others Thank this. -
