The good news is that Pete has moved out the intensive and intermediate care units and is now installed in a private room in the Nephrology/Organ Transplant/Urology Unit.
In the road to recovery there are several different speed bumps that are best to avoid. Yesterday, Pete encountered one such speed bump in the form of a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis) in his right calf muscle. This is concerning as the clot can move into other areas and cause severe problems. Today Pete has a battery of tests lined up to further diagnosis and treat this issue. At this point they have started drug therapy to treat the clot and hopefully by the end of the day we will have a clearer picture of how to treat it.
Since, he is on a regular floor visitors are welcome, if possible please use the visitor sign-up log.
Thank you for your continued support!
You're still in our thoughts and prayers. I wanted to come visit but Chris came over and I have a runny nose. It's probably just allergies but I don't know for sure. Want you to know we love ya!
