Friday #3
CT scan showed what looks like a hematoma in Lin's left lower abdomen, could have been caused by the overlapping transitioning from heparin to tinzaperin to warfarin. These bleeds usually dissolve on their own (however, you avid readers of this blog will remember that old blood just sitting in there is a breeding ground for infection). Lin will be in the hospital for 3-5 days while they closely monitor her. No plan to insert a drain as yet. Wish they would put her on a precautionary antibiotic dose. Doc was amazed that Lin was NOT in more pain. So much for this morning's nurse assuring me she just had the flu.

Just got an e-mail from Kim to let me know that the blog was back up. I've just read about your day and so sorry to hear that Linda's back to a hospital. Thankful, as always, that you are there... and now I am too, at least in spirit. My thoughts are with you both. Hematoma be gone!!! Love and hugs as always.
