His blood tests show he's losing blood somewhere, but they've done scopes, scans, & everything else & can't find it. Sat. & Sun. they gave me him units of blood each day, but his numbers still aren't where they should be. Also giving him blood hurts his kidneys I guess so they give him fluid to make them work & then he gets fluid places he shouldn't. He just looked so tired & ready to give up yesterday. We lost grandma 3 years ago friday & I think he's really ready to go home & be with her.

He's been mysteriously losing blood since last july. He had a bout of diverticulitis (sp) & ever since then his blood numbers show low iron & such at times. Like he's losing blood, but theres no explanation for it. If it's his time it's his time. I've gotten to spend a lot of quality time with him over the past 3 years & I just want him to feel better even if that means he's no longer in that body.


My mother is 86 years old today. She has been having the same problems now for 2 years. Losing blood and not knowing where. They have had to add blood every two to three months and now she is in kidney failure. She had a fistula put in her arm so when the time comes (it has, but she refuses so far) she'll need to go on dialysis. She just doesn't want to do that. Says she feels fine, but by the time she feels bad...it will be too late. She won't listen.

They did all the tests on her too, but never found where she was losing blood. Hope they can help your grandfather.
