Wednesday Update (9/28/16)

This is Job's current vascular map, showing where he has/had clots. Hematology is still doing their work up. He'll get another echo tomorrow. So far there is no movement or growth, which is hopeful.



Surgery doesn't seem to be a good option. The risk of surgery itself, post-op complications and the likelihood of "stirring things up" and creating new clots all present too high of risks to make it worth it for this size of clot.

Job is having a good day from a respiratory standpoint. He's been off BiPap for 16 hours and doing well. He's at 35% FiO2 (oxygen) and 8lpm of "pressure," delivering that oxygen on hi-flow. Perhaps tomorrow we'll try 6lpm.
