Today started out like any other day, breakfast, bandage change and therapy. About half way into therapy I had to have an ultra sound to check for blood clots in my legs. Unfortunately, I have at least one in each leg. My doctor is putting me on a higher dose of blood thinner. My doctor is also going to a have a vein filter inserted tomorrow afternoon. This will stop any clot that may move from entering my lungs. I am also getting a blood transfusion tonight to help with my anemia. It feels like I am taking two steps backwards today. However, it is good that they found the clot. I will be back in the normal routine in a day or two.
Thanks for your prayers and kind words
Love

What a beautiful family you are! Thank you for sharing the photo with everyone. It's good to see that even through the tough battles you have been facing that you can find a moment to smile together.
Shane, I continue to pray for your speedy recovery. This week I'll focus my prayers and ask the Lord to remedy your blood clots. In my experience, prayer's seem to be answered more clearly when we are very specific about what we are seeking. I hope you will feel the Lord's support and healing power during the coming days as you and your physicians work together, proceeding forward, in your care and recovery.
Through the Lord, all things are possible.
Your friend,

Take care...always mindful of you all!

Your family looks so happy to all be together! Shane, seeing you smile is fantastic, keep it up! Finding the clots sooner rather than later is a good thing. Transfusions are an easy fix - you'll feel so much stronger afterwords. Glad you are getting some good food to enjoy and get your strength back, but really who's food is better than Sara's?
Have a great weekend! You are in our prayers and thoughts! Love you much! Heather & Sean
