Bloody nose




I am spending the night with Jason tonight. We've had a two hour long battle with a bloody nose. It kept dripping and dripping with no avail. We tried toilet paper, a nose pincher, ice bags, rags and even went the holistic route with some tea bags to constrict the blood vessels. The nurses evern stood there for a good 20 minutes or so pinching his nose. They have it packed with some powdery stuff to soak it up and help form a clot. He is very uncomfortable but he's a real trooper. He's going to have to sleep with it over night and give it a chance to clot. He will probably have to have some platelets tomorrow.

Night all!
