2nd surgery
Esther said he had a good night. He is going to have another surgery at 11:30 am tx time. The drs are going to open his abdomen up and take the packing out from around his organs. They are going to look for the bleeding also. They are going to go up through his leg and put in a filter ( looks like a bird cage) around an artery ( i was a little unclear on this part) near his kidneys or liver. It will let regular blood flow continue while cathcing blood clots and preventing them from going to his lungs and/or heart. They were also going to put a wire up to his heart. ( not sure why on that). He is still in surgery as far as i know right now. He was stable enough to have this done in an operating room instead or icu. But he is still in very bad shape. The dr has said if there was something worse than critical they would put this label on levi. This is a very risky procedure also. Thats all I know for now.
