2:30 AM Wake-up Call

Good morning all. What? You were not woke up by a nurse saying the doctor had to talk to you? This is Corey, by the way. The nurse came and woke us up after about 2.5 hours of sleep saying Dr. St. Louis wanted to talk to us. He said he wanted to do a wash out. Which from the very brief explanation is basically what it sounds like, he wants to clean up the area and see if he can tell where it is bleeding and put a stitch in. Her bleeding hasn't got any better. They have had to giver her blood non-stop to keep her blood pressure up. I am posting this here because they told me to go wait in the waiting room while they did this. Tina is in the lactation room doing her thing. While doctor St. Louis didn't have us sign a consent form and told another doctor it wasn't needed, a third doctor still filled one out and told me that basically normal operating problems could happen with doing this. More bleeding, chance of infection, and what not. Doctor St. Louis' bed side manner is still as impeccable as it has always been, telling us "Do as I do and wake up." If anything goes wrong Tina or I will be back to write about it. Otherwise everything is doing okay. Thanks to everyone who is praying for Lynnea.
