Randi Free Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 My daughter's surgery went well. She did have some problems with excessive bleeding on the left side. She now has 6 very large incisions on both hips/upper thigh areas. She was released from the hospital last night after an 8 day stay. They still have no idea why this happened to her. I will be cleaning and packing her incisions daily with weekly visits to the wound care clinic. Every time the nurses got her up to walk her pulse would zoom to 150 or more. Her b/p was low at 70/40. I had to give them a crash course in POTS as none of the nurses had ever heard of it. Thanks for all the good wishes.Randi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloppyllama Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am glad to hear that it went relatively smoothly! I hope she heals up well, and that she is back to her "normal" self in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for letting us know, and keep us updated if anything changes. Good luck,Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm so glad your daughter is out of the hospital, and that she got those awful cysts removed.Also sorry you had to give a crash course on POTS---------it's terrible that there isn't more education out there about this.It's pretty serious stuff, and can cause serious complications-------not to mention making us feel MORE miserable.Your daughter is a brave girl.Give her a BIG HUG for us.Maxine :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat57 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks for the update. Give her our regards. You are probably holding it together very well because you know she needs you. As soon as she gets a break you will probably be a wreck. Our babies come first.Wishing you both a break........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
