Wash Out Done

Dr. St. Louis finished doing the chest wash out on Lynnea. It went well. He put more stitches in her aorta, even though this was a risky move, he felt it was necessary. So far, it looks like it was the right thing to do. Her bleeding has slowed down to 100-150cc's per hour, which was an improvement over the 400cc's/hour she was losing before the wash out. They are keeping a close eye on her now to make sure that the bleeding doesn't begin to increase again. Her blood pressures also look better now than during the night.
