Still Bleeding

Lynnea continues to bleed 500-600cc's per hour, which is very bad. The doctors have discussed the situation and have decided to try a couple of new medications to slow the bleeding down, without causing her to clot so much that she clots off her ECMO circuit. Dr. St. Louis is still convinced that the bleeding is due to the stitches that he put in, rather than anything that is bleeding that he could improve by adding more stitches. He feels that if he goes in now, it would only make things worse.
