They should also see if it is HHT and if there are any arterio-venal malformations in his lungs, intestine or brain. Those will throw a clot, too.
I'm praying for his FULL recovery...AND MORE!!!
God bless you, Siouxz...NEVER be ashamed to ask for prayer.
Of course prayers are being sent. May God bless and heal.
Prayers and a wish for a speedy recovery for your son, sent to you and your family.
I'm certainly not up on those conditions. I only know (all too well) about Paget-Schroeder and that it is one of the most common causes of blood clots in young otherwise healthy people.
Prayers sent.
You've got prayers!
Prayer ping.

Siouxz, My prayers going up for your son and you.
Salvation, Thank you for the ping.

If you want on or off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
You and yours will be in my prayers.
When I was taken to emergency a few weeks ago, the doctors first thought I had blood clots in my lungs (I had just come out of major surgery the week before). Turned out I had pneumonia and pleurisy.
Fortunately, treatment for blood clots in the lungs is highly effective these days and I have high hopes that your son will do just fine.
Please keep us posted on how things go.
You all are in my prayers. May all his (and his mother's)fears be lifted and may you all be comforted knowing that many are praying for his full recovery.
DVT? Whatever the cause, prayers for your son and the rest of your family. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Prayers offered for your son and the family.

A Big Prayer to the Lord Almighty that he will heal your son Michael with his Love, grace and healing hand.
GOD Bless you and your family...
There is nothing harder than a sick child. Late night prayers from the west coast.
This is a great danger in transoceanic jet travel.
Going to the YAF convention in NYC in 64 was a nearly 24-hour road trip.
A Greyhound trip to Tampa was 23 hours.
We know now how important restoring circulation is.
No doubt this brush with mortality will be a source of strength, for what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
According to researchers, being immobile on a plane and having a limited space in which to move increases the risk that blood clots will develop and then travel to and lodge in the lungs, an event called pulmonary embolism.
During long periods of sitting, blood pools in the legs and gets thicker. This in turn increases the risk of pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. A person may experience no symptoms, or they may feel a pain in the calf or leg, chest pain or shortness of breath. Surface veins may become more visible.
To reduce risk, the researchers advise passengers to drink fluids, avoid alcohol, wear loose clothing, avoid crossing their legs, wear elastic support stockings and engage in minor physical activity, such as walking or moving their legs, during flight.
For motoring, passengers are advised to use rest stops for walking.
