Lotti Back to Surgery
Lotti Back to Surgery
Hello Everyone,
Below is email I just received from Lotti's husband. Names have been changed to respect their anonymity; and mine.

Cooker,
Charlie suffered a set-back last night when a coughing fit caused her to bleed steadily from the area where the chest drains exit her body. She was taken back to theatre and opened up again between 08:00 and 10:00am this morning, which meant another bought on the ventilator.
She is now off the ventilator but still has the pacemaker helping her heart. When I left her this afternoon she was awake and lucid again, with her blood pressure stable at a good level and all the indicators looking good again. The surgeon could find no reason for the bleeding, and it has stopped now with the aid of lots of clotting drugs.
Lotti will be in ICU at least until tomorrow morning, when we hope she will be released to a general ward.
A scare but thankfully she is on the recovery road again. It also looks likely that the heart rhythm will stabilise and the pacemaker will be removed tonight or tomorrow morning!
Thanks for your caring words, I have passed on your support to Lotti."
Lets continue to keep Lotti in our prayes.
Best to all,
Cooker
