Meghan had a decent night and labs are all holding stable. She stood today for 20 mins at 60 degrees and had an ice pop while standing. Labs will only be once a day, they want to take the least amount of blood possible. The uterus situation with the blood has been put on hold, her white count is normal so they don’t think that is an issue. Around 630pm doctors called Rob and Meghan’s body was not responding to the vitamin K anymore so they were going to try it again. With PT she stood 3 times today. Bad news there were some clots coming out of her one drain. They are doing labs now and a CT. Vitals are stable right now. They decided while taking her to CT they will be taking her back to ICU. They believe she is bleeding, her heart rate is 140 and MAPS at 60. Rob called me on his way to the hospital and her hemo came back at 10. Which doesn’t make sense, on the CT they saw an active bleed in the area of the pancreas. They took out a huge clot the size of a placenta. Doctors are with her and looking at things bedside in her room in ICU and Meghan is under anesthesia. It was a venous bleed in the pancreatic area. The doctors have packed it with biodegradable gauze and combat gauze. She got one unit of blood. They will redo labs around 1230-130am. Meghan’s heart rate is still high at 140 and MAPS 63. They have blood on stand by if needed and still on medication for her blood pressure. Since they have never seen anything like this, the doctors have no case studies even close to what Meghan has been going through. Right now, the doctors do not have a long term plan. They will act as soon as anything happens. They ending up doing labs around 10:30pm. Meghan’s hemo is at 9.5, white count is 6.5 and platelets at 223.
