Bleeding

Yesterday was a really tough day. They have transfused 6 units of blood and 6 units of platelets and his counts are still not holding. He is still vomiting blood and has bloody stools, so that means that there's still an active bleed going on somewhere inside him. The needed to do the endoscopy yesterday, but since his platelets were do low, they didn't want to risk the procedure. As a precautionary measure, they put an IV into his neck because all his otherIV's (the three in in central line and the one in his arm) are being occupied. He didn't want the IV in his neck, but at this point, I think it's essential. Overnight, since he lost so much blood, they decided to do the endoscopy this morning (they're actually doing it as I type this) despite the low platelet count. They are hoping to find the source of the bleeding and stop it the best they can. They just started the procedure, so I will be sure to keep you all updated as things develop.

Prayers please.
