Thankful? November 23, 2006

Posted by spacemom in : In A Family Way , trackback

Dad just called. Mom’s in ICU.

She and Dad fell a few weeks ago on a makeshift staircase. She bruised her leg and foot badly. This was about 2 weeks before they came to watch the kids.
Last night, they were heading up to their NC home. They stopped to visit a friend, who is a PT. Mom was having pain in her leg and having trouble breathing.
Our friend immediately told mom that it sounded like a blood clot in the lung.

Mom and Dad decided to go to the ER instead of home. She has two large blood clots, one in each lung. She’s on heprin and heavily monitored.

Today, I am thankful that the daughter of mom’s college friend could diagnose mom so that the clots were identified.

Any good thoughts for mom would be appreciated.
