Inches of progress

One thing the doctors and nurses have been worried about has been Dad's bleeding. Where the heart machine tubes go into his chest his main is open which can make it hard for the bleeding to stop. Last night they did a procedure to clean out his chest and found a clot in one of the tubes. So where all that blood should of been going into his chest, it was overflowing back out- making the bleeding worse. We just found out this morning the bleeding has slowed and they were able to reduce some of his meds. Which will constantly go up and down depending on the circumstances. This is good news to us, one baby step at a time. They will continue the dialasys, which will ultimately help him but change up his meds a bit to keep him stabilized.
