A least one clot in the leg, and several in the lungs. She's in ICU on blood thinners. She's feeling better with every passing moment, and the risk of sudden death is steadily decreasing - which is nice.
Kids hey? Who'd have 'em? Even when they're adults. And not yours. They take years off your life!

She's in pretty good spirits. Her baby (8 weeks old now) is with her. She is scheduled for a CT scan at 3pm today.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostIt is, and to be fair, the doc did do an x-ray and there was then no evidence of a clot.
If she had to stay in for a while, it's five minutes drive from where I live. Twenty minutes for my son.
On a serious note, hope she's Ok.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostThanks. They now suspect a pulmonary embolism. So she's in the right place.
So far diagnoses were :
