Mom was able to go home on Tuesday; however, she had a rough night. She wasn't able to get much sleep after getting home from the hospital. Then, today (Wednesday) mom noticed that she was short of breathe. She was having a very difficult time doing any type of activity. She felt very winded and weak. She made a call to her oncologist and he told her to return to the hospital immediately. He was concerned that she may have a blood clot in her lung. About a month ago, her oncologist found the beginnings of a blood clot in her right leg, so he's very concerned about blood clots forming. She was on some blood thinners, but hasn't been taking them for the past week. She had to go off the medicine in order to complete the procedure to remove fluid from her stomach.
At the hospital today, we did find out that her blood is very thick, so the concern about a blood clot is still there. They were not able to do any intensive scan yet. Her kidney levels were also low, so we have to wait for those to come up. She was admitted to the hospital tonight and hopefully we will find out more information tomorrow. I will post more when I know.
