Daddy had a Echo cardiogram this morning and a CT Scan, which showed he has multiple blood clots in both lungs and a clot in his right leg. A Critical Care Surgeon is going to put in a screen in the main vein in his right leg in the hopes of catching any other clots. The surgeon is also going to put in a central line at the same time. They have started Daddy on a high dose of blood thinner to try and dissolve the clots and to help prevent future clots. Which this raises some concern about him bleeding too much from the incisions. The Doctor is hoping that we are far enough out from the surgery that it won't be much of a problem.
The family would like to say THANK YOU to everyone for their support and prayers at this very difficult time. Daddy's not out of the woods yet, so please say a special prayer for him (and for Mom).
