Quiet Stormwaters

So the bleeding is happening at the anastamosis of the pancreas to the rest of the system.
They are doing their best to treat the problem "medically" (as opposed to surgically).
There are several invasive options but the docs really don't want to follow those if at all possible.
So they are "hooking me back up" to what I consider some damn invasive apparati and they have given me more plasma, more platletes, and are trying a rarely used therapy known as cryoprecipitate.

And a very heavy dose of  albumin.

A protein compound to help keep blood nutrients running though the blood and helps prevent these
nutrients from leaking out through the tissues.

Dr. Yang is to be back tomorrow.

I will miss Dr. Ottmann as he goes back to Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington tomorrow.

He has been spectacular.

So has been my ICU nurse Alisha today.

She has gone far beyond  her call of duty to ensure my wellbeing and comfort today.
I cannot say enough about this woman or thank her enough.
Alisha was a Godsend today.

 

                   ICU Nurse Alisha and Dr. Shane Ottmann discuss my next course of blood therapy.

I feel that I am in good hands here.

My family has been very supportive.

And I've been showered with good thoughts and prayers from everywhere.

Thank you.
