Meghan went down for surgery around 9am and was in surgery until 1145am. They did begin to close her abdomen. They have a mesh over the top and bottom with an area open incase they have to go back in for any bleeding. The doctor said pancreas is looking ok but can’t be 100% sure if it is done causing damage. There was no current bleeding and will monitor that for 6 hours. After the 6 hour mark if no signs of a bleed they will begin the medicated flush of the antibiotic fluid. During surgery they did replace the feeding tube in her nose and will have that ready once they want to start feeds again. That will not happen yet but shortly. Meghan didn’t need any blood during surgery. Meghan was resting and just relaxing as best as she can. Next surgery will be on Friday, to try and let things rest and heal as much as they can before going back in. Around 1030pm Meghan’s blood pressure dropped and they put her on a little bit of medication for it. They drew labs to see if anything was going on. Her hemoglobin was 9.2 around 4pm and now is 6.2. They are giving her two units blood and will re draw in 90 mins to watch counts.
