Bleeding Continues

Lynnea's bleeding does not appear to have slowed much, if any, despite the extra medications. Unfortunately, she has managed to clot off her chest tube, which makes it impossible to tell exactly how much she is still bleeding because she is bleeding around the tube. The doctors are trying to suction out the tube now so that they can determine how much more medication to try giving her. Dr. St. Louis plans on doing a "wash out" of her chest first thing in the morning (probably around 6:30am) to determine whether more stitches are needed to stop the bleeding.
