They are bridging right now! Averi did well overnight. Teresa says, "Michelle [her nurse] was 'freaking-out-excited' because her blood gases were coming back soooooo good last night." She was down to 150 and then down to 120 with NO oxygen from the ECMO. The only oxygen Averi was getting was from the ventilator! It's looking like they will proceed with the REMOVAL OF THE ECMO a little after 10!
This is Averi's 3rd surgery. It usually doesn't take long. Once she is removed from the ECMO, she is certainly not out of the woods. She is still critical. But removing ECMO and all that heparin is a HUGE HUGE thing. Praise God! (And pray for Averi while she's in surgery! -- Though I'm sure I didn't need to say that!)
