Tuesday August 17 9:00 a.m.
They've just brought Marie in to do the catheter procedure in an effort to go into the vein and remove the clots near her filter. They still believe the filter -- which was placed to protect her heart and lungs from clots five years ago -- is the source of the problem, having become clotted itself. So they are going into the area to try and remove the clot physically or with medication. Could be an hour or two, depending on how easily they can get to the vein. I'm sitting in the PACU waiting room. She'll be in half-sleep, half-awake mode on her stomach. I'll update after its over, but now is a good time for prayers. Thanks.

We are praying, Tom. Please let us know if we can do anything for you guys.
ReplyDeletePraying up here in Ashland. Thanks for setting up the blog to keep us posted. Praying also for you and the kids. I hope you can find rest in the Lord as your body probably isn't getting much.
ReplyDeletePraying all goes well with this procedure and you can breathe a sigh of relief when it's done. I hope you have someone to keep you company when you wait - those waiting rooms can become so intimidating! Lots and lots and lots of prayers headed south to you . . . Kelly Jo
