Doctors changed her dressing around 5am and saw no active bleeding and drains have slowed down. Late morning they did another labs and it was back down to 6.9 again, they gave her a unit of blood. For now doctors have decided to keep her on the vent to keep her comfortable. ACES doctors called Rob around 2pm and she is still bleeding. They were checking her dressing and saw bright red. They do think it’s something they will be able to fix vascular so the doctors are with Meghan now to come up with a plan for surgery. Also mentioned at some point they want to put a stent in the pancreas to stop it from leaking and oozing. While waiting for an OR they redid labs and hemo was back down to 6.4 so she will be getting 2 units of blood before surgery. Went to surgery around 615-630pm and we didn’t hear until 1045pm. When they got down there the bleeding had stopped again. they did see an artery they believe was the cause of the bleeding. It was the artery that went into her spleen and did “coiling” to close it off. They will not do a stent for the pancreas until all the bleeding is under control and inflammation is down. Also a dye test was done in the pancreas and it didn’t show anything leaking right now. Ventilator will remain on again tonight. Fingers crossed this was the fix.
