Bye bye ECMO!

Jensen is officially off the circuit! Yay! Everything went very smoothly this morning...finally! Dr.Fuller was able to repair the carotid and the jugular too :)

So the plan is to keep him stable, watch his blood pressure (it's normal to be a little low after coming of the circuit), and to continue getting to swelling down. Monday they plan to close his chest! I really think that decannulating is a big step in the right direction and after this, he will improve by leaps and bounds!
