A tampon

We didn't get much sleep last night. Just after I had finished sending all you yesterday's update Jane nosebleed started again with a vengeance. They tried a few things and wasn't helping much. I was hoping the get her back to northwestern emergency and see what they could do which was one of the options they were talking about.  The last try was using a tampon laced with afrin nasal spray and sticking it way up her nose... it  worked.  Still took a couple of hours for Jane to stop coughing up blood and  clots from blood flowing down her throat during the bleed.   

As of this morning it is under control.  And Jane is feeling better. Was able to do her physical therapy. They are going to keep her off of blood thinners until we are sure the nosebleed has stopped. The tampon is still up her nose will try and remove it tomorrow. Looks pretty uncomfortable but not bleeding anymore.
