I apologize for just now getting this news to you however, nothing since Friday been easy.

What we hadn't realized is that internet access must be granted from the admininstration office and since we missed it on Friday we had to wait until today to get access.

We checked into the hospital at 8:30 a.m. and waited until much later for her to be taken back for her procedure.

That evening while she was in recovery from her hernia and sleeve surgery, my impression was that she was fine and that nothing was out of the ordinary. This was true for about 3 hours.

I was with her in her room when someone came to draw blood couldn't seem to get a vein to produce enough blood. Two nurses tried a for about half an hour. They asked me to leave the room because they were also unable to establish a blood pressure reading, they decided to put a "central" line in her neck so they could draw blood, monitor her pressure and for i.v.. use. When I walked out I noticed a red light outside the door. Assuming this wasn't too much out of the ordinary, I went to grab a soda. When I came back the light was off, when I got close the light came back on, but this time it was blue. People scrambled to her room, I asked what was happening and told by a nurse that she didn't know yet.

Without an explanation, her anistesiologist walked past and told me to wait outside. When they let me back in, I was told that she had a very low heoglobin count, has passed out and that they had going to give her blood throughout the night, which ended up being 4 pints. Another pint would come 2 days later.

At this point the origin of the blood leak is still a mystery, but it has seemed to stop. Today she is feeling about 70% she says. She is tolerating liquids well and walking a few times a day.

She said she will give you a personal update tomorrow, hopefully from the house.
