Woke up bright and early to the most massive nose bleed! It lasted for a good 2 hours and we used every towel available to us to soak it up. He is low on platelets, of course, due to everything. Platelets help the blood clot at the sight of injury, so not having enough of them made his nose bleed epic. Luckily the nurses are used to this level of bleed and was able to get him some platelets quickly. The ear nose and throat team came in like gang busters, 3 deep and lots of equipment.
