Cassie had another good night where she remained stable the entire time. She continues to have a good pulse in all four extremities as she remained on VV ECMO. She will go into the OR tomorrow at 2 PM to clean out the remaining injuries in her left leg from the Fasciotomy and replace the wound vac that is helping her heal. Cassie was more aware this morning and the ICU team is continuing to closely check and monitor her pain levels. They paused the fluid offload in order to maintain her blood pressure but are planning to resume later today if appropriate. The ICU team also turned off the sweep unit to the lungs at 11 AM EST and Cassie has remained stable without its support. The ICU team will continue to test her stability without the assistance of ECMO, but she will remain intubated for the time being. We all continue to see good progress out of Cassie, but know this remains a lengthy process as she is still very critical. Cassie and the family continue to appreciate all the prayers and support that the community is giving her as she continues her journey to return home.
