While concerning, the team just knew he wasn\u2019t ready for a blood thinner. They stopped that and gave him a blood transfusion. The drain looks much better today. Since Lincoln is on so many steroids to prevent rejection of the new liver, his blood pressure is a little high. To combat that, the providers start a medication to lower his blood pressure. Lincoln is still pretty sleepy because he\u2019s a pain pump that the nurses control and he\u2019s on precedex, kind of like an anxiety medication. These are keeping him calm and out of pain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 days with a new liver\u2026 doesn\u2019t seem real.
