Big Bird is starting to look sooooooo much better. They are still unsure about the bleed, Dr. Washburn (surgeon) doesn't seem to be overly concerned. They are hopeful that it can be contained and controlled with blood. They gave him some additional platelets this afternoon, they still are not seeing the marked improvement for blood counts, so the went ahead and put him NPO for now, but they are letting him have ice chips-which he is very thankful for. His urine is normal for the first time in years. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. They took the bandages off the incision, you can see the staples now, and it looks great. He is starting to get "itchy" around the staples, we like that-means it is healing.... Below a picture for your viewing senses!
And Ladies & Gentleman......the incision!!!!
Thanks to everyone for their prayers and continued prayers. I have seen so many answered... For now we will be staying in ICU. We were hoping we would be getting out of there today, but oh well, better to be in ICU and under supervision then not at all ;-)
He has a good bit of his humor today. He sat up in the chair for a couple hours, and he even got up to utilize the facilities and "percolate" the bowels (teehehehehe)
We are keeping our fingers crossed that there won't be another surgery.....but they are not ruling it out, but are hopeful it won't have to happen.

My Big Bird, what a pretty scar you have.... LOL. What a wonderful thing to have. A whole new life is ahead of you.
It looks like his color is looking really good! Is this true?
