What's Happening

Hi Everybody,

First of all, Rosemary, thank you for making yourself available this morning. We certainly appreciate it!

Ok, I know some of you know some of this already but, while doing some sort of scan of Timothy, they discovered that he had a blood clot in his left leg. The hospital he was in, La Palma Community, called Kaiser and asked for instructions. Kaiser said "send him over here". But when the ambulance came to pick him up, the doctors at La Palma noticed that his blood pressure had dropped and his heart rate was too high. So they moved him to La Palma ICU. He has been in ICU all day.

Then, this afternoon, they installed some sort of blood filter on his main vein/artery to prevent blood clots from getting back to the heart or lungs.

The doctor said that procedure went fine. Tim said he was very tired.

So now, they have to hold him in ICU for at least 12 hours to be sure everything goes ok with the filter. Then, maybe next week they can put him back in Rehab.

Everybody please keep up your posts of comments on the blog. Tim listens when I read them and smiles and nods his head when you mention things.

Thank you for your prayers!
