low blood count in elderly

Hi, I just found your site as I am sitting in a relative's hospital room. The patient has a blood count of 7.8 and the doctor wants to transfuse her with two bags of blood. We are Jehovah's Witnesses and this is not an option. Would appreciate very much if anyone has had experience with this to respond.
Thanks for listening
