I was out of the room when the hospitalist doctor came in..
I came in and he explained what is going on. No pill blood thinner until the bladder bleeding is almost completely done.
He thinks that will be tomorrow
Right now it runs clear most of the time but every now and then it will turn pink, usually from passing a small clot.
He says he can turn on and off the IV blood thinner according to the bladder bleeding but once a pill is given they can’t take that back.
She will need 5 days of taking the pill before they can even think of discharging her. looks like she is here for this week..

Hospitalist came in and said barring any significant bleeding and the medicine is where wants it to be he will probably release her Friday. He said a little pink in urine is ok..
Watching her walk with rehab here I’m thinking she will need some more time at Woodlands Rehab for a few days before coming home.. I hate that but it has to be that way..

I'm sorry I haven't brought you all up to date.. My apologies...
The wife was released from the hospital Thursday and is now back at Woodlands Rehab here in Newburg.
This is our third trip here in anticipation of going home. We think it will take this time.
Knock on wood and praise the Lord the bladder bleeding has stopped.
She is on Coumadin blood thinner for her clots and is doing well. They need to get that level up in a range of 2 to 3 and right now she is at 1.5. She is rehabbing twice a day for an hour each and is getting around pretty good with a Rollator .
We are hoping she comes home Thursday or Friday. That would make it over 5 weeks since she has been home. She is a toughie. If it had been me I would be ready to give up a long time ago.
Thanks ever so much for your prayers. They mean a lot to us.

Not good ..
Urologist says Darlene has a bunch of clots in her bladder again. We are at same day day surgery at St Vincent's . He will be going in like he did last time and remove the clots. He said it was not as bad as last time.,
This is a catch 22 - need blood thinner for the heart and the lung clots and that causes the bladder to bleed..
What to do?
Lord, help us...

The Urologist came out and says he got about a cup of blood clots out of the bladder.
He says the bladder has to heal and she needs to be off blood thinner for as long as it takes .
Darlene said before going in she wasn’t doing any more blood thinnner.
That’s a discussion we will have way down the road AFTER the bladder is completely healed..
She is physically fit to come home. As soon as she is medically fit - bladder no longer bleeding - she is going home.
