What a Night

After posting the previous blog at 8pm last night Hannah took a turn for the worst. Under a routine ultrasound they found a colloection of fluid in her adominal cavity & wanted to drain it off as this causes undue pressure on the heart & lungs. However while inserting the drain she suddenly dropped in blood pressure, her heartrate skyrocketed & O2sats went out of wack. They managed to get her stablised again, only for her to do it again at 11pm (just as we had gone to bed). This time they decidéd to look into her chest (which is still open at the moment, just covered by gauze & a plastic dressing) & see if there were any clots or bleeding. This took 2hrs of nerve racking waiting in the parent room, but no bleeding or clots were found. They did however decide that too much blood is going to the lungs & not enough to the body, so they adjusted the bands they had placed around the pulmonary arteries. Finally at 3:45am she was stable enough that we could head back down to our room & crawl into our much longed after bed & sleep.
