Internal Bleeding

This is an intensive care resident explaining to Ashtyn that she needed to be moved to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring. At noon she was transferred to the ICU and given a fourth bag of red blood cells plus platelets. At 1:40 p.m. she was taken on a stretcher to the GI procedure room so a scope could be placed in her stomach to try to find where the bleeding is coming from. Three hours later she’s still in the procedure while I sit in her ICU room with Morgan and Ethan. All I know so far is that her stomach was found to have quite a bit of blood in it and the GI doctor is trying to wash out the stomach so she can visualize where the bleeding is coming from. At this point I have not heard whether the location of the bleed has been found or whether they are able to stop the bleeding. Let’s keep praying for Ash.
