Hi Rummy Chick. Was going to wait until Cody is out of the ICU, but he is continuing to improve. They keep lowering his oxygen and hope to get him out of the ICU tomorrow and into a regular hospital bed through the weekend, and maybe home early next week. He is still confined to his bed but can sit up in bed.
Yesterday morning they discovered a small blood clot in his leg but the doctor wasn’t too concerned about it. He said it is very common with Covid patients. They put Cody on blood thinners which helps stabilize the clot I guess.
They specifically asked him about what pains he is having, “any pains in your legs...” to clue in on any clots so that was good. I’m guessing if they didn’t ask those specific questions he would never have brought it up, thinking that it just hurt because he had been in bed for so long.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!
I suspect you are right about him not mentioning the pain in legs.
Thankfully the Dr asked him about it
Continued good news update on my son Cody at post 154. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. He texted saying he didn’t like the nurse he had yesterday. Not sure why, but he finally complained about her and they assigned someone else to him! “Got a new nurse she’s great!”
PTL.
Standing on GOD’S Promises for Cody’s full recovery.
So happy things are going well! Praise Jesus…and he will get better!
Such good news! Praise Jesus!!!
