1/1 – Sunday
As some of you might already know, Michelle was admitted back into the hospital. On Friday, we caught up on some Yellowstone, then headed to bed. She stopped to rest at the bed before brushing her teeth. Knowing this is not normal for anyone, I tested her 02 levels, and they were dangerously low (73). 70 can be life threatening. After some self-denial and doubting the 02 sensor’s functionality, I brought her into the Emergency Room where I knew she would get admitted.
They tested for COVID, FLU and Septicemia. They started and IV in both arms. Two access points allow for more accurate testing. It also gives a failover if needed. Additional fluids can be administered if max fluids are needed. It also gives 2 areas for blood draws. She had normal results from blood tests. An X-ray of the chest was done as well.
We got a room about 3am Saturday morning. We saw the oncologist Saturday and they ordered a chest CT. The CT scan showed a blood clot in her left lung. She is getting injections every 12 hours to help break the clot up, so it dissipates safely.
Today they did a full blood workup on her, and all the results came back normal. Michelle is scared. I am trying to calm her fears and talk to her as much as I can. I am scared, I am trying to hide it from Chele. Knowledge is power. I expect a similar day tomorrow.
Love, Brian
