Well, again, I don’t know when she’s going to get out, but I thought I’d do a quick update.

They took Jo in last night and did another surgery, this time to put in a filter for the P.E.s.  It was all very quick.  Mom didn’t even have a chance to call me about it until she was in the surgical waiting room.  Jo had a REALLY rough time right after that.  Apparently this was the worst procedure to date… They went in through her LEFT thigh to do that surgery which means she now has both legs immobilized at the moment. 

Reason for surgery:  she was/is still bleeding out from the first surgery, worse yesterday than in past days.  Surgeon wanted to take her off the blood thinners; oncologist said too risky with her high risk for PEs; they compromised with this surgery and a lower dosage of the blood thinners…

Let’s see… they still don’t know what initally caused her RBC to drop so rapidly, so they don’t know if there’s the chance that the same will happen with the new blood… 

and that’s what I know right now.  I’ll try to update as I know more…
