Stable overnight and morning was the same. Meghan was sent for a ct of the abdomen because of fluid in her belly. Labs were done every 6 hours. We all got to meet with the doctors- everyone got to ask their questions. at that time there was no infection that they knew of - clotting was good at this point- the doctors are not sure what is making Meghan so sick they are looking at all possibilities. After ct results they knew she had a lot of fluid and and possible pancreatitis talking surgery options. The doctors wanted to go in and see what was going on for themselves in there - surgery was explained as her numbers at this point are starting to decrease if we go in and release the fluid it can relieve pressure and recheck all organs and intestines - if there was any small damage to intestines they could remove a part and fix that later if there was a lot of damage there was not much else they could do. Successful surgery no damage to intestines, pancreas looked inflamed and irritated. Surgery was finished, stomach was left open with packing and a drain so the fluid could continue to drain. Now they want to watch her levels overnight and let her body rest.
