So the Doctors just came in and said that they are pleased with the bloodwork and that they don't anticipate needing to go to surgery, although they are still going to monitor it closely. They said that they would rather have a small amount of blood loss than to risk taking her off of the heparin and having her liver not get the blood it needs to recover properly. From what I understand it is somewhat of a catch-22.
Other than that they removed the bandages, and we got to see Jennie's incision for the first time. It is still very sore and bruised, and her abdomen is swollen, but it actually looks much better than we were expecting having talked to other people who had been through this surgery.
There was also talk about trying to get Jennie to move some today and hopefully get her out of the bed at least long enough to change the sheets. They want to get her moving some to keep her from clotting or getting bed sores. They also said that they don't want to increase her pain medicine any because she is having so much difficulty staying awake.
Hopefully we will get her somewhat mobile today and by tonight things will be looking much better. Please keep the prayers coming, they help immensely.
