Dr Haithcock came in at 1:45am and told us Mitch was stable after the surgery. He said the removal of the old lungs was difficult because of adhesions and scar tissue. Mitch had some bleeding which, is a concern, and will hopefully stop. He required 4 units of blood.
Mitch had been getting 3 shots a day of heparin (blood thinner) to prevent clotting since he has been immobile for the past 9-10 days.
Lyzka, Gayle and I are waiting to see him in the CT-ICU when we can.
