She is the author of Kittens for Dummies, and the one who hosted our forum on Kittens awhile ago. Her husband Weems had a pulmonary embolism on Thursday night. He is in ICU with two blood clots, one in each lung. I just got off the phone with her earlier and she could sure use an insert into your prayer list- He is facing more tests next week-

My prayers have already started. My Mom had the same a couple of years ago, and she was treated with Heparin and Coumadin, two medications that dissolve clots and thin the blood and hers dissapated. As I'm sure his will too.

They may insert a Greenfield Filter in his right abdominal area that prevents any clots that form from the bottom up, and stops them before going any further than the pelvis area. That, along with medicine, keeps any and all clots from going up the main arteries to the heart.

I would go on, but, I don't need to give a medical report. I will pray, though, for a quick recovery. May God be with him and hers at this special time.

My thoughts are with them. This is a very painful experience. My sister had a pulmonary embolism a few years back. It's hard on everyone involved.
