This is about when Doris, our daughter, was eleven years old and had to have surgery for scoliosis..The doctor had said that she would be in surgery about four hours and in recovery about two hours..When it went beyond four hours, I started to panic..They allowed us to call and talk to the nurse in the operating room..Shortly the doctor who was in charge came down..He said that they had had to give her four pints of blood but they were watching her very closely and would not let it get too low..She recovered and did fine but it was a frightening ordeal..Sara

Pondering gravity of red blood that bled
The doctor came from operating room
Blood splattered scrubs, blood on glasses, and said
