Talked to my mom and my dad today. The doctor did find clots that had traveled to his lungs, and he's now on heparin. They said he's got some kind of clotting issue. The doctor also said that they've found he has Deep Vein Thrombosis in both legs. This is not good news. I'm not sure what they are going to do for this, in the long run. Dad seems in good spirits though, so that's good.
He should be home on Saturday, so hopefully we'll know more before then.
Jenn, thank goodness they got your dad on some Heparin. Hopefully they can find out what is actually causing this, but if not, blood thinners might do the job of dissolving them.

Continually remembering your requests...
adding a request for prayer for my SIL Pauline. She has taken a turn for the worse, & doctors have advised my brother to start notifying next of kin. Please pray that her son is able to get there asap. He has quite a long distance to drive. My brother is there by her side, and I went up & spent a couple hours with him -wasn't able to see her this time. (she had a kidney & liver transplant last fall, and after 6 mos, her new kidney developed cancer. It's all been downhill ever since.)
This is so sad, they are such a tight-knit family, and she's only in her early 50's.
Thank you, Pat & JoJoe

Prayers for Pauline, and for her family.
I hope she is comfortable and pain-free, and can hear and see those who are with her.
Prayers for all who need them.

How sad for your brother and his family, Pat. I'll be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.
