[Oasfaa] Good News

[Thetford, Sandra K.]

I just spoke with Marcia and she had some good news.  Her doctor is 99.99% sure that the blood clots have dissolved.  He explained to her that she had a saddle embolism (according to her nurse this is the Mother of all Embolisms) that went through her pulmonary arteries and split sending a clot into each lung.  Her doctor says this would have killed most people.  Thankfully, Marcia is not most people!  They are planning on doing surgery -maybe tomorrow - to put in a filter so that if this ever happens again, it won't kill her.  She will be in the hospital at least another 4 days.
