Doctors decided to clean up better stich up the break of the transplant incision that came apart yesterday. To be cleanest and most comfortable for Jane they decided to do this in operating room...they wheeled her off at 2pm. Yesterday the ended up giving her 2 units of blood due to the stiches breaking.
Good thing they went in they found internal bleeding between the lung and skin (hematoma) which must have started after the transplant. This could also cause her stiches to fail. They fixed it, they emptied out 4 liters of blood! So this is where all her blood was going and why every few days she needed a unit of blood. She did just fine during the surgery and is sleeping now. Problem of dropping hemoglobin is solved we think.
