Sunday Jan.23

This morning, Bridgett was dizzy and nauseated.  Her blood pressure dropped to 86/62.  Her hemoglobin, which was 14 before surgery, had dropped to 7.  The Dr. ordered a transfusion, with 2 units of blood.  The first unit is almost done, her blood pressure is back up to 117/60 and Bridgett is feeling better.  Not as light headed and tired.  They'll start the 2nd unit of blood shortly, and check her hemoglobin level after 24 hours.

The drainage tube from her stomach is too dark, indicating there could be some kind of bleeding inside.  They are keeping a close watch on this tube, and if it doesn't clear up soon, there's a possiblity they will have to do another surgery to find out where it's coming from.   The nausea and dizziness has kept her from walking like the Dr. ordered, to prevent pneumonia.  She was able to eat a little bit of jello today.

Please continue to pray for Bridgett.
