Dr. Montgomery just came to tell us that he is finished and the other doctors are wrapping things up. Everything went well and it took much less time than expected! He did have some problems finding a good spot to connect the artery but was successful. She only required two units of blood which is a dramatic improvement over last time so no major bleeding issues.
The plan is to send her to a closely monitored bed versus ICU so that is encouraging that he feels ICU is not necessary. With her history of clotting, he did say that the next 48 hours will be critical and they will monitor her very closely. He said if any issues develop they can operate again to address the issue but hopefully that won't be required.
Praise God for this outcome! I will try to post again after we see her.
