Cabin fever


As his release date gets nearer and nearer, Pete's cabin fever increases exponentially.  At this point going home (to Jen and Marcus') is about all he talks about. 

Monday came with some bad news, Pete has developed more blood clots in his legs which greatly increases his risk of developing a pulminary embolism (potentially fatal). Yesterday they increased his blood thinners and today they plan on placing an inferior vena cava or Greenfield filter to prevent any blood clots from blocking blood flow to his heart or lungs.  If everthing goes well, Pete could be released from the hospital as early as this evening!
