Update on Larry

LauraandLarry

Larry was hospitalized yesterday with several small clots in his right lung. Thank God he finally agreed to go. He has been on Heparin IV and bed rest . All in all he is doing well, angry about the setback, but breathing has improved quite a bit. They are starting him on Levonox injections, which he will have to do twice a day for the next year. The oncologists' opinion is that the clots can come from several things,however this cancer is notorious for blood clots. So NOW Larry will have CT scans quite often. This is exhausting. His dilation last Thursday has held out pretty well. It's a good thing because they will not allow any dilations now. Fingers crossed!
