Surgery is still on for this afternoon. During surgery they will be placing an erector spinae catheter. This is for pain medication. The doctors told Meghan that was an available option and she wanted to try it. OT was with Meghan today making changes to her splints for her hands to not be so curled all the time. Meghan had a little bit of a temperature and was given Tylenol for it. Doctors explained to Rob they believe since she has the current infection she may have had a small temperature the whole time but dialysis can cover that up. She went to surgery around 130pm. Meghan’s surgeon did not come up and talk to Rob but another doctor did. All the info they had was that the bowel is still very irritated, however no breakdown at this time. The infection is still not under control. They are switching out her irrigation fluid to a medicated one. She did get one unit of blood in surgery. Also now will only be pulling labs once a day at 4am. Since Meghan is off dialysis they said it isn’t necessary. With dialysis they need to monitor her electrolytes all the time. With her being off the machine they do not need to do this. Meghan is also scheduled for a CT of her abdomen just as a double check for everything going on.
