Oxgen in stored blood?

My nephew who is 7, is having a tonsillectomy in Trail, BC Canada. As Jehovah's Witnesses, we, which includes his parents, refuse blood transfusions. The doctor said that if he lost blood, that the only way to replace oxygen lost through the blood loss is by a blood transfusion. He said stored blood carries the necessary oxygen and he would get a court order if blood was needed. I thought stored blood no longer has oxygen. If anyone has info on this it would be appreciated.
Thanks
