Thanks to all of you for your kind words. It means so much to have people on your side and to talk to in times like these. They have been giving his bp meds to him every night (that we had run out of) so his bp is very well under control.... which is awesome. I talked with cobra today and because he is in the hospital they are doing an emergency update and he will be showing as active on insurance in 24-48 hours.. which means by the time he comes home (which I think will be SEVERAL more days) I will be able to buy his bp meds and we will be on track. (THANK YOU GOD!!!) Warhorse, yes... he has been sent to the teaching hospital that I told you about. It is huge and I got lost two times, but I found a short cut and what area to park in at the parking garage that gets me to the tower where his room is and it's much easier.  He has the filters already in place, had the surgery yesterday. Tomoro he is having an MRI and a Lumbar puncture. They are thinking this area on the brain is not actually blood, but a calcification, but they are going to be certain there aren't any brain issues with both tests. If there aren't, he will be back on blood thinners to thin the clots in the lungs. If there is, then the doc said we will discuss alternatives. He is in the "step down" unit which is one step under ICU. He is alert and got irritated at me when I was trying to feed him his dinner... good sign there. lol Soooooo.. that's about all I know and we won't have the test results until Thursday. So, I will update it when I find out more. Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
