Been trying to post all morning, but been interrupted or lose my screen...things have changed quite a bit. On our way home yesterday, I suddenly had pain in my right lung. We called the doc at VM and he suggested going to ER since it could be a blood clot in the lung. They did a CT Scan at Kadlec but didn't see a clot. They did lots of other tests and eventually the Doc called over to VM and they concluded I should come back. I was gonna come by ambulance, but they would not be able to come get me until 9:00 so MedStar got the call. I had already been at Kadlec 6 hours...luckily they gave me enough pain meds to sleep. Got back to VM and now have to share a room and we have no view. I struggled with the night staff because they gave me next to no pain meds...been a rough morning so I have been trying to nap. My docs here wanted to check better for blood clots so I had an ultrasound to check my legs. They came in a few minutes ago to confirm that I do have a blood clot and a small piece may have broke off and travelled to my lung. They have started the protocol to dissolve the clot. They are hoping the pains will lessen as clot dissolves. This could have been from my pregnancy or this hospitalization.
Oh Michelle:( I am praying for your healing and strength. xoxoxo
