My mother-in-law is 89 and needs a blood transfusion. Her count 6.7. She on hospice has dnr. Is this the point where she will start having problems?

It is difficult to predict exactly when someone will start experiencing problems due to low hemoglobin levels, as it can vary depending on the individual and their overall health. However, a hemoglobin level of 6.7 g/dL is considered low and can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and pale skin. In some cases, a low hemoglobin level can also lead to more serious complications, such as heart failure, stroke, and organ damage.

If your mother-in-law is on hospice and has a DNR (do not resuscitate) order in place, it is important to have a conversation with her and her healthcare team about her wishes and goals for care. This will help ensure that her medical care is aligned with her values and preferences.
