We just saw Dr. Montgomery. He really wants to avoid surgery at this point if possible due to the risks at this point in her recovery. He is going to order another CT scan to see if bleeding appears to have stopped and also ordering blood products that should help stop any bleeding. If the CT shows that bleeding has stopped then they will insert a drain to reduce the hematoma vs more risky surgery to remove it. This will take longer but lower risk.
He is also going to discontinue all blood thinners going forward as this appears to cause spontaneous bleeding. He feels that the new kidney is well established so isn't too concerned about clotting or issues with that.
I will post again when we have more info.

Praying for God's continued mercy, healing and comfort for you all. Hopefully this is only a minor set back and Karen will be out of the hospital very quickly.
