Meghan did get some sleep last night. Doctors are trying to find a pain medication that works for Meghan, she is having some pain. They did change one medication but she felt nauseous again so they switched back. Other option would be an epidural but there are also risks with that. Good news of today because she is producing urine they have changed her to intermittent dialysis. They also have an external catheter, less chance of infection than placing a regular one to collect her urine. Her labs early in the morning all went in the right direction by a lot and was good but 4pm labs all went back up. They think the earlier ones were false labs due to her body continuously getting flushed. She has a lot of extra fluid inside. She was completely off the vent today for over 10 hours. She has been trying to get some rest as much as she can and surgery is set for tomorrow, she is the second case.
