It's been an up and down kind of two days. We were happy to be moved to 7B on Saturday night, but sad to be moved down to the PICU on Sunday night again. Leah's hemoglobin had dropped, so they gave her a blood transfusion, but discovered her hemoglobin numbers had dropped again despite the transfusion. She threw up once and they thought it looked like old blood in that. She was also having a lot of bowl moments throughout the day. Because she had lost so much blood, they decided to put her back into the PICU to keep her stable.They also gave her another transfusion. She did really well through the night with no more incidents.
This morning they did a Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, where they take a scope down through the mouth into the stomach to see if there's any bleeding. They determined that she has gastritis. This can be caused by so many different medications and also the stress on the body going through surgery. We were just glad it wasn't an ulcer. She has been able to keep water down but continues to have some loose BM's.
We were given the ok to head back to 7B, but they do not have a room for us at the time. We are hoping for one soon.
I was glad to have my parents here through this whole episode. Travis left Sunday morning and will be coming back out either Wednesday or Thursday with Ethan.
We know that God is complete control of Leah's situation and we continue to trust in him through all the ups and downs.
