LAST NIGHT MOMS HEMOGLOBIN [ RED BLOOD CELLS ] count was low this is after recieving 7 units of pact red blood cells friday and 9 units of blood during surgery thurs. THIS IS lead to condition 1 ..where when a person recieves so many blood products it can lead to a condition where the bodies tissues internally start to weep fluids . they were watching for this and caught it early ..but condition 2 these fluids increased pressure in her abdomen and pressed down on her diaphragm causing her to have difficulty breathing and fighting the respirator .leading to condition 3 a internal bleed over a period of 2 hours after the other 2 conditions were dealt with it was noted that her blood pressures were starting to fall . they did a ultra sound and then ct and found she had a internal bleed not at the graft but the bowel site bad enough that as you all were told last night they took her in at 0300 and had to repair the damage and clean it out she came through the surgery but after wards had to be put on a external heart pacer because her heart would not hold a life sustaining heart beat it took 3 attempts but her heart took over this afternoon .........so as of 1700 today .......HEART, LUNGS KIDNEYS ALL WORKING AT 90-95% THE DESCENDING AORTA WORKING AS ADVERTISED .... STILL SEDATED and on a respirator but no longer in distress as she was yesterday
