Day 4 in the ICU

Well, today Kaelyn has been very aware and awake. She is still needing quite a bit of pain meds to keep her calm and settled. I think that besides the pain, she just wants to get out of that bed. I might get to try and hold her tonight. That would be good for both of us.

She did finally have her ultrasound today. We have not heard the official results from the radiologist yet, but the ultrasound tech gave us a little idea of what she saw. She said that there is some flow in the hepatic artery, but not any visible flow getting to the liver itself. But that is more than they saw last night after surgery. So we are hoping the the blood thinners will continue to do thier job and free up that artery. She will continue to have ultrasounds often to monitor her blood flow.

We have had not much else go one today. I will update as soon as I can after we hear the official report from the radiologist.

Love,

Angie
