Home..... Not So Fast

Previous blog was Home.

But... Pattie is back in the hospital.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

No sooner had we left BIR in Dallas on Tuesday then Pattie's left leg begin to swell. Pattie spoke to her doctor on Wednesday and we went to the ER Wednesday night. An ultrasound confirmed there were blood clots. AKA Deep Vein Thrombosis. Pattie was admitted that night to North Central Baptist Hospital. Room 364. Telephone # (210) 423-4364.

Treatment.

Treatment actually began a month ago. One of these previous blogs outlined how an IVC filter was implanted to offset the risks of blood clots. And now Pattie is being given blood thinners to begin dissolving these clots.

Home - Part II

Hopefully our next blog will be Sunday or maybe Monday. That's when Pattie hopes to be discharged again. I'll blog more then.

Stay tuned....
