Cathy is back in the ICU. The surgeons found some trauma on the upper lobe of her new lung (it came with the lung). This site was oozing blood. They cauterized this site and the bleeding seems to have subsided. She was loosing about 380 ml per hour of blood before going back into surgery. After the surgery she is loosing around 25 ml per hour.
She is still sedated.
One of the attending pulminologists was is a few moments ago. He said that her lung sounds very good. Her blood pressure is back up to normal. They have begun to ween Cathy off the oxygen support.
Another bit of information about the lung: Its from a 16 year old male.

GREAT news!!!! Yet another successful surgery and such a young lung! How perfect for our "kid at heart"! May that boy's family be blessed for his gift of life to so many others today! What a beautiful picture of the "circle of life".
Rest, heal and breathe Cathy!!!!!
I love you!

That is wonderful Cathy's new lung is working and sounding good. So the trauma to the new lung did not effect its performance? It just needed to be cauterized?
I hope the boy's family finds peace in their donation to Cathy.
16 ...

Just a bit of adjusting :)
Rest well my friend.
Love,
Jami :)
