Gotta put back old Teddy Bear who is chanting, no more clots, no more clots
Day 26:
We'll, we're on the hunt for some luck we can pass on to mom.St. Patrick's day is right around the corner so let's all pool our resources and cash in on any luck that's coming our way and pass it on to mom.
Doctors confirmed she has blood clot(s). Having one isn't uncommon but she has multiple clots in her legs and her lungs. So....having said that she's back on an IV with clot BUSTING medicine. Maybe this is just her way to getting out of therapy because she's back in bed all day for the next few days until these darn clots disappear.
Let me put on my doctor badge and try to explain what I "think" my dad told me. There are two kinds of strokes...one caused by a blood clot and then another kind that mom had which was caused by an absence of a capillary. Yes, there's a formal name to it but I don't know what that's called.
The dilemma that we have is the medicine mom now has to take runs the possibility of inducing the "other" type of stroke that mom didn't experience.She's not in ICU but is being monitored.
I will share a family moment of gratitude that we live in 2012 where we have access to incredible doctors, machines, medicine that are intended to heal. We are already grateful for her full recovery.
Both dogs are now praying for Boise right along with Jim and Chris.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that there is a bump in the road. Her journey may be filled with a few bumps, hills, and valleys much like her three day walk. Her determination and strength will see her through this just as it saw her through her training and three day walk.
Let her know that there is a lot of chocolate on the trail. She is being sent so much healing energy and love ...so tell her to rest and let all of us help her for a few day.s
