Update -Figured I should probably update everyone that's been wondering and sending prayers our way. After the last stay in the hospital they changed my blood thinner to warfarin so now in the beginning I'll be going in to have weekly blood draws done so they can adjust the medication accordingly and for the first 4 days until it builds up in my system I have to inject myself twice a day with lovenox Then hopefully once they get everything adjusted I will only have to go in once a month to get my blood drawn. I see my new primary care doctor on the 16th and then I'll be getting set up for what sounds like some pretty extensive blood testing and probably a colonoscopy because they are still very concerned to what is causing these blood clots, hopefully just a blood disorder of some sort but they said cancer is also a very real possibility. So for now I just sit and wait trying to keep my leg up as much as possible to try and keep the pain to a minimum. Thank you again for everyone that has been praying
Some in my area already know what it's going on but if not here is why I was finally convinced to create this GoFundMe
October 21st I went into the emergency room with difficulty breathing and a lot of pain. After some tests and a CT scan the Dr's told me I have numerous blood clots spanning across my right lung and multiple clots in my left lung. Was put on blood thinners and told not to do anything too strenuous.
After seeing a pulmonologist he said 10 more days I could return to light duty work but to take into consideration the risk of injuries because being on blood thinners a minor cut could turn into major bleeding.
Was in the process of looking for work however I started having immense pain in my left leg and after 3 days was finally convinced to go to the hospital. Went back to the ER and after getting an ultrasound done of my legs I was informed I have a clot that runs pretty much the entire length of my leg. Got sent to KMC by ambulance to have surgery to remove the clots in my leg.
Long story short in my current situation I am unable to work and haven't been given a for sure answer of when I may be able to return. I'm having to put a lot of pride to the side to even create a go fund me but my main responsibility is providing for my family.
With Thanksgiving then Christmas right around the corner I know everything is tight so I am not asking anyone to put themselves out, I am simply asking if you can spare a few dollars so we can try and make sure our family of 7 have the essentials it would be greatly appreciated. Then if possible be able togive our children a Christmas. Thank You to all and God Bless
