They have been bringing Laura in and out as her discomfort ebbs and flows. She is alert when awake but it is super frustrating for her as she is still intubated and can not communicate easily.
She wanted to know when she could go home. Like the positive thoughts, even if she is ahead of the plan.
They completed a CT scan early this morning and it did show that there was still a significant amount of blood in her lung cavity. Due to that they are going to operate again this afternoon. We are just waiting the OR. This "wash out" surgery is not uncommon and often happens with the second transplant. The surgery will take a few hours and then she will return back to ICU and recover over night. While in surgery they will do the first post op bronchoscopy (which sucks when awake) while she is under, so that is a win.
More to come after surgery.
