Well, unfortunately the bleeding started up again and Faith's abdominal area continued to increase. Her vitals started dropping and she became very unstable and things got crazy. Flashbacks kept coming at me of the horrors of the first week.
Faith was brought back down to surgery after much discussion. Once again, they did not find the source of the bleed. What they ended up doing is taking the piece of artificial skin out to allow fluids to escape. The wound-vac was placed over the abdominal opening and fluid is draining at this point.
I am really nervous and scared, but trying to be as positive for her as I can. I know how strong she is and I have to remember that she has pulled through this before. However...prayers, prayers.
Faith and all of your family continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I have also asked for prayers on our church prayer chain. Keep Faith! - the Heckelmans
