This is where we stand

Yesterday they tried taking Aiden off ECMO because all the bleeding. He only was able to tolerate it for about an hour and a half before his heart got too tired. They realized then and there how serious his pulmonary hypertension is. They tried giving him factor 7 for the bleeding. It slowed it down but it didn't stop. They said if they can get the bleeding to stop they can give him another week or two on ECMO to see if his pulmonary hypertension gets better. They said it may or may not get better. It usually gets better within a few weeks but in his case it didn't. However if they can't get the bleeding to stop he cannot stay on ECMO. So please please please pray that they can stop the bleeding and that his pulmonary hypertension gets better so when they try to get him off ECMO again he can tolerate it!!! Thank you so much
