So they found the bleed on the scan, it was near her right kidney. She went to the OR around 11am. They also today had a vascular doctor in surgery. If the bleed was a vein they would try and go through it and fix it from the inside. He came out around 1pm and said it was not a vein bleed. It was ooze bleeding all over her abdomen again. They think the spot they saw on the CT was the contrast dye building up in one area. Doctor came to talk with Rob after surgery. She had the oozing bleeding in her whole abdomen. They found an arterial bleed that they fixed. They packed her again and had to undo the closure on the lower part of her abdomen. The top stayed the way they fixed it yesterday. Next surgery is Friday. The plan is to remove packing, drain out any extra fluids. Use mesh to close her abdomen and do nothing else internally. By not touching anything they are hoping things can heal. They will no longer be flushing her abdomen. If she does begin to bleed again they will go back in if necessary. The biggest issue is how weak her body is. They would like to see if not bothering the abdomen at all, with her own immune system and the medication to see if that will get the infection under control. She was given 13 units of blood, 10 plasma and 3 platelets. Meghan is now resting and hopefully a peaceful night for her!
