Update

Mike's blood count did not go as high as it needed to go. So he is staying one more night and getting 2 additional pints of blood for a total of 6 pints this time. I praise God for Mike's insight. He was right. His numbers were 9.8 RBC and 27.5 on the HCT. They wanted him above 28 HCT. We had the choice of being discharged, but the Doctor thought it best to give 2 more pints to really tank him up. Mike and I talked about it and thought that would be best too. Who knows? His RBC might actually go into the normal range. Not only that, we didn't want to be back in next week for another transfusion. I will update again in the morning.
