Surgery went well. The area of major bleeding has stopped, although she could be oozing slightly. Doctors were ok with that progression. She did receive platelets but did not need any blood during surgery. During surgery they did realize a small hole in her stomach from the feeding tube. The doctor explained to Rob that was a minor thing that can happen from movement of feeding tube. They did repair it and replaced the tube. Also doctors took new cultures from her abdomen to help get this infection under control. Those are checked daily to see what grows and what possible way they could change her antibiotics. After surgery Mom and Gram were able to visit with her today and she was awake and wanted to see pictures of the kids. Mom said she was smiling and even laughing a little when they were sharing stories with her. Meghan’s abdomen is still open and will have another surgery by Monday. They do not have a plan yet of what day. Continued prayers are appreciated and we hope this is our turning point to get Meghan heading in the right direction.
