Cassie has continued to progress well in her recovery, making progress in her fluid offload, reducing her reliance on blood pressers, and reducing her reliance on the ionotropic medicine as well. She was able to match her tolerance of “room air” of up to an hour today, as well as continuing her “tilting” for longer than she has before.
Cassie took her 12th trip to the OR today where the doctors reassessed the fasciotomy wounds in her left leg. The doctors confirmed that there was no infection and that she maintains muscle reactivity in the back of her calf. The doctors are continuing to evaluate next steps for her left leg and right foot. Both of these extremities were affected by a lack of blood flow while she was on the ECMO machine.
