Default Emergency purrs for Jim

Jim & I spent today in the emergency room. The tests showed that he has
blood clots in both lungs. He will be admitted tonight.

I came back to the place we are staying and fed the kitties and packed Jim
some essentials. I will take them to him tomorrow. We don't know how long
he will stay or if he will be able to travel afterward.

All purrs and prayers are welcome.

We have put all future plans on hold until he gets through this.

I probably won't be able to answer very many posts, but we continue to send
purrs and prayers for all in need. Jim and I and Rosie and Cinder thanks
all in advance for any positive vibrations that are sent our way,

Annie

Immediate purrs on the way. Hope they clear quickly.

Annie, big time vibes being sent for Jim. How scary -- especially
somewhere other than home. Are you going to be okay where you are?

Take care of yourself,

Rhonda

Thanks for your concern. We are at the best place we could possibly be for
something like this. This is where we formerly lived and we have lots of
friends here. Right now, we are in a friend's house instead of a motel.

OK. To try to reassure. I had a pulmonary embolism about ten years ago. I
spent a week in the hospital on heparin and then several months on coumadin.
As I understand it, they no longer make you stay in the hospital that long.
You have to have frequent blood tests to make sure the coumidin levels don't
get too high or too low. They never did find the source of the primary
blood clot. I've never had a recurrence. My doctor told me at the time,
that a single episode doesn't increase your chances of future clots. But
I've ended up with quite a few scans on the veins in my legs as no one wants
to take a chance when I have leg pain.

So there is still a good chance that after a few weeks you will be able to
continue with your summer. He will have to be careful not to sit for too
long without a break to walk around when you are driving or flying. But
everyone should do that.

Plus there are a lot of things they can do to protect you if you do get
recurring clots. A friend of my daughter had numerous episodes when she was
in her early twenties. They installed filters in her veins to keep then
from going to her lungs. And she is doing great fifteen years later.
