And explained what was going on with the blood and plasma. Basically, he is watching the trend and slope in some of the things they measure in the blood. Sorry, I missed which ones. He believes Mary has reached a plateau and will be at this level for a few more hours and then the end of day numbers will tell him if he should continue or not.
The key issue is having enough good stuff in the blood to promote healing of the incision and all the cutting and pasting he did without hiding a possible rupture that would require immedate surgery. And, the more hours away from the actual surgery, the less risk of a rupture scenario.
As for the liver, he thought the metrics were nominal given her surgery. No cause for alarm but not out of the woods yet either.
