"step down ICU". She is being very closely monitered and having all kinds of tests done. The Drs. have said they think she has a "pulminary embolism" (not sure of the spelling), I think that means a blood clot in her lung. She seems to be feeling better today so keep all those prayers headed this way! Thanks for all your kindness.

Oh what great news, I am so happy for you that she is no longer in ICU, "step down" is a step up in the right direction!!! At least if the docs have found what the problem is they can start working on the solution. Lots of love and strength to you sweetheart Stay strong, stay positive and vent, it's good for the soul!!

You spelled it correctly. I had pulmonary emboli 6 years ago this month. I was on birth control at the time and was working at a desk job so I didn't move much. As lisaatwell said they happen when you don't move enough. Certain medications can increase the likeliness of developing clots, such as hormone replacement and birth control. I have made a great recovery with a LOT of prayers, faith, and help. Your daughter and your whole family will be in my prayers as well as those of the drro prayer network. It has grown quite a lot in the last 6 years :)

Thank you for letting us know, Honeychyle.
This is a step in the right direction and I hope she continues that way until she is completely recovered.
Keep well yourself, too.

My mom had three pulmonary embolisms when she was 52 years old and they figured out when she fell on the ice and broke her ankle the trauma from the break and bruises made them form. Only thing was there was several months before they broke loose. She lived until she was 88. This is a life threatening situation and I pray she is not released unless they have proof there are no more. They sent my mom home after the first incident and I was checking in on her when I noticed she had the same symptoms. Prayers continue for your daughter.

This is a very serious condition. There is a reason for why this happened, I encourage you to encourage her to have the physicians determine why this occurred. Hormone replacement can do this, having surgery, or decrease in activity for a normally active person. It is not uncommon for someone who just had surgery to have this happen, especially if they are not gotten out of bed in a timely manner. Uusally a post op patient is up and out of bed within 24 hours of surgery to prevent PE (pulmonary embolism or embolus) and pneumonia. She will require treatment until this resolves, also prevent further occurances.
