So they did a CT scan last night and it showed that Jason has a/some blood clot(s) in his right lungs. They started him on lovenox shots to help break up the clot(s) so that his body can reabsorb them. They are keeping him on an antibiotic because there might be alittle pnemonia as well. Hopefully the pulmonary doctors will be in later to tell us a bit more. I dont if they will still do the broncoscopy but he is scheduled for a doppler ultrasound to try to determine where these clots are starting from, if he has DVT (deep vein thrombosis) or what. We will start chemo today so we theoretically should be done on Thursday depend on what time they start today. If its too late because of 14 hour chem and post cisplatin rehydration it will be Friday. Oh well, at least we know a little bit more will post again when I know more. He is feeling sore on his right side and it still hurts to take deep breaths but we went down and played with Ronan in the park today. Starting tomorrow no one under the age of 12 will be allowed to enter MD Anderson unless they are patients, so no more Bubba for right now. We suppose its for Swine Flu precautions, our nurse said she would find out.
Keep up the prayers.
Kim
