Jul 08 Blood Pressure Leakage Jul 08

They did a red blood cell tag and that didn’t show anything. This morning they did a scope down her throat and up her bum. They did find many places where blood was oozing out and into the stomach and into the intestine. There could be more leaking up where they connected the new liver. The plan as of now is to start her on some medicine for blood pressure with the hope that that will relieve some pressure in the veins and they won’t ooze. If that doesn’t work they would have to do surgery and put a shunt in to relieve the blood pressure.

She is on and off grumpy all day which is understandable since they stop her from eating all the time and have to keep poking her for blood samples. She does keep her fun quirks about her. She loves to hook and unhook all the cords to her when she goes potty. She makes things for Grandmas and cousins too.

I hope we can get some sort of fix with this blood pressure soon. It’s draining on both MaKayle and my nerves.
