Surgery # 6 (for real this time)

They decided to go ahead and do his dressing change surgery. They said that the tight packing was causing ventilation issues. They did the surgery on 50% ECMO and it went just fine. They didn't close it up. They packed it very lightly so let's hope that it doesn't bleed. He didn't need any blood products or extra fluids and hopefully it will stay that way. They will monitor him for a while and depending on his ABG's they may just take him off ECMO. So we will see. Back to the waiting game. More updates to follow!!
