Day 3 update- a few issues today. Started with low BP at 90/55, although she tracks low but not that low. Had blood infusion as hemoglobin was low, thinking there was internal bleeding. BP improved but breathing was troubled. Did two CT’s of lungs and found two blood clots. Heflin started to address clots. Breathing improved rest of day, continued walks on floor x 4 and finished resting comfortable finally after tough day.

Hi @kim1965

I'm sorry to hear that today was a rough day for Kim. It sounds as if the hospital was diligent in finding the problem and correcting it with the heparin. Meds to thin the blood are important when you are hospitalized and will be in bed for a prolonged period of time.

Is she still on an IV for nutrition? Has there been any discussion on when she might start with liquids or a soft diet?
