Today, was quite a busy day for Kim. First, she went for an ultrasound on her legs. We found out she has blood clots in her right leg (the good one). She also had 2 ECG's done, because her heart rate was quite high for the last couple days. They will continue to monitor that. Then, this afternoon, they took her downstairs for a CT Scan, on her chest to check if there were blood clots near her heart or lungs. But once she was down there, the doctor decided against the CT Scan, because she already had 5 of them, and radiation is not good for a young lady. Since, she has clots in her leg, they have to put her on Warfarin (a blood thinner), and since she is already on that, it will help for the clots in her chest to if any, so no need for the Ct Scan.
Physio was held off today, because she went through a fair bit of movement today, which really tuckered her out and she needed her rest.
Kim was in her glory again, because yesterday Alicia made her spaghetti, and today mom made her macaroni salad, so no hospital food!!! Yuck, she says! Tomorrow, she got promised french fries if she obeys the rules!
She will probably be here till the beginning of next week at least, because she does have another CT Scan on her chest scheduled for Monday.
Please continue to remember Kim and pray for her healing!
Remembering you all in my prayers, May the Lord bless you also in 2011, and grant healing to you Kim.
