Blood Clots

Last night mom had some trouble passing some blood clots. She didn't sleep much through the night and had another clot pass this morning. At about 10pm, they called the Oncology office which suggested they go to the ER. They decided to wait and go in this morning instead. She didn't have anymore problems once she got there. Her vitals are all fine and normal. The ER Doc wanted her to have a colonoscopy but her regular gastro doc was out of town so his partner came in to see mom instead. They scheduled her for a 7:30 am colonoscopy and went ahead and admitted her to intermediate care at Kadlec. She had lost about 2 grams of blood since her blood tests she had done on Friday, which was too much. Once she was up in her room, they gave her a blood transfusion and some icky stuff to drink to get her ready for her colonoscopy. Overall, she is good. She doesn't have pain or nausea and was in good spirits today. Dad and I were with her in the morning and then he left and I stayed. Later Kents girlfriend, Jessica came by to visit and stayed the afternoon. Kent came after work and when I left around 7pm Dad, Kim and Steven were on there way. Hopefully everything turns out okay. We will know more about the situation after the colonoscopy.
