Update on my sister......

This morning, at a bit after 8, they had to rush my sister back into surgery, she had developed a bleed somewhere. That surgery took only 2 hours, but some of that time was used in closing her chest, that he felt there would be no reason to leave it open. He felt good about closing her because he felt he would not need to go back in. GOOD!!

So I was thinking this was good, until the rest of what he had to say. Her lungs (could be wrong on this because he lost me) are not moving the O2 even on the life support, and 100% oxygen her O2 stats was under 80, (between 74 and 78) he needed her to be above 90. Her blood pressure was jump all round. From as low as 54/86 to as high as 240/180 and higher for short times. And until he could her to settle down, he would only giving us an hour at a time. If she made it this hour, the next would be better, hopefully, anyway.

Tonight sometime after 10 her blood pressure settled down. YAY!!! But the oxygen levels are still low. The Doctor thought that maybe she had fluid building up in her system, so he started her on latex with hopes that will help with lungs. If she holds study till morning, he will be able to tell us more.

I did get a small break tonight, between 6:30 and 8, they do not let anyone to visit. So I came home and returned some called to family, and gave them the new updated news. UGH!. Then I took about a 20 minute nap before freaking out that I missed a phone call, mostly because I could not find my phone. I think Fresser trying to help but sleeping on it. LOL Dang, shes a good girl. So, after that I eat some soup. YUM! And headed out to the hospital. I am hoping to sleep more then a few hours tonight before heading back up there in the morning.

Thank you all for keeping my family in your thoughts. Thank you!!!!
