Looking Better

Overnight, Lynnea began to bleed again, and bled a significant amount (60-100 cc's/hour) steadily throughout the night. This morning Dr. St. Louis did a wash out and was able to stitch up the spot that was still bleeding, and since then the bleeding has stopped, so she is pretty stable now. He said that her heart function seems to have improved quite a bit, and he will probably try to take her off from the ECMO machine tomorrow. This is excellent news, and we are excited about it, but we have also been warned that coming off from ECMO can sometimes be a difficult transition. We continue to pray that Lynnea will have the strength to make it through this next step.
