After a few days in the hospital, we are back home and John is doing well. We found out the blood clot actually formed in his left leg and small pieces broke off and traveled to both lungs. He will be getting shots of Lovenox in his belly twice a day and is also taking Coumadin. The shots will end in about a week but he will be taking Coumadin for about a year.
This was a pretty scary process but we are so grateful that he had the baseline CT Scan scheduled, and that this was discovered before we got into a really serious problem - or worse. He had no symptoms at all, although he may have been a little short of breath. Since he has been inactive going on six months now and the huge surgery and chemo, sometimes it is a little hard to distinguish what is abnormal based on what he has been through.
Anyway, praise the Lord he is home and doing ok! We are just so thankful for one another, our family, and all you great prayer warriors.
Love, Pam

My goodness! Praise the Lord that you were at the right place at the right time. We are continually praying for all of you, and will continue to do so as he keeps fighting.

The winds are blowing and the temps are dropping...thank the Lord that it is warm and sunny somewhere on His earth...and that He still knows all the burdens of our lives and hears our prayers and cares for us.
May you sense his presence and love today.
Much love,
G & V
