Keep praying for Jackie...she's back in the OR!

[weekycat]

If you've been reading her CaringBridge site, you probably breathed a sigh of relief like I did a few hours ago, but it appears she's not out of the woods yet, and we need to keep those prayers a coming...

I posted this on the other thread, but for those of you who haven't seen that one, here is John's latest post.

Jackie is being brought back to the operating room. She is draining more blood than they would like from her chest tube. Because of the clotting disorder she has, her blood is not clotting enough right now. The doctor is hesitant to give her too much medicine to make it clot better because of the risk of it clotting on the valve. She should be in the OR within the next 20 minutes.
Thanks again!

and here is the latest news posted by her hubby:

and here is the latest news posted by her hubby:

Jackie went back into surgery at about 3:50 pm. Everything looked fine. The surgeon talked to us at about 4:15 pm – he explained about the different parts of blood and how they act differently in how they clot. He said she is stable and will spend another hour or so in the OR as a precaution. We should be able to see her again at about 6 pm in the ICU. We are praying for some good old boring, uneventful healing now – we have had enough of the interesting!

Jackie is certainly going to have an exciting story to tell when she gets through all of this...but as John said, let's pray for a nice boring ending to this saga.
