Morning update. I must have been tired when I talked to the doctor, but I had misheard when he said that they would scan the clot. They stated that they need to let the medication work on the clot for 24 hours before they scan to check on its progress. They plan to scan it around 4 this afternoon when they move her out of the ICU. She is a trooper. We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. We are not out of the woods just yet. I will keep you updated. — with Brent Luke.
Cami is back from her scan this afternoon. Great news, the doctor said that the clot is broken up and there is good blood flow in the vein. There are still some smaller pieces present but they are not occluding the flow of blood. They are very encouraged by the results. They have removed the catheters, leaving the sheathing in place for tonight due to risk of bleeding. She will remain in the ICU until tomorrow when they remove the sheathing. She will then be moved back up to observation with the milder thrombolitic (anticoagulant) for a couple of more days till she is ready to come home. Thank you all for your support and prayers. They have been and continue to be answered in wonderful ways. I will post again tomorrow. — with Brent Luke and Connie Powell.
