Bad news **trigger warning**

[trtlcrzy]

I didn't want to bring down the daily so I decided to make a separate post.

My sister got told today by baby O's doctors, after they ran some tests, that they don't think he will make it when he is taken off ECMO. They are giving her some time to tell people, let them visit and say goodbye to him. I'm not exactly sure when they will be turning it off. I'm planning to drive out to Rochester later this week, Thursday. Please keep her, my BIL and their kids in your T & Ps.

My sister texted us that Owen passed away at 9:14 tonight. I don't have any details yet. She isn't planning to share this publicly until tomorrow.

ETA: she just sent this text:
He had a rough night last night and started bleeding really bad again from his lungs and into his diaper. His thinners were really low and they had it as low as it could go, but he was still clotting his circuit. We made the decision to withdraw care after we got to hold him while still alive and awake on ecmo. The Mayo photographer came and took some pictures of us holding and will come back after he is bathed and clothed to get more. They clamped his ecmo circuit at 9:05 and he passed at 9:14.
