Well his appointment today was not real helpful. They're sending him in for a biopsy on Wednesday. The doctor says that it's not just one spot on his lungs, but several spots, so they want to find out what is going on. They had to take him off of the blood thinners that he has to take due to his pacemaker, and put him on vitamin K to thicken his blood so that he doesn't bleed out during the biopsy, and hopefully it will not thicken it too much and end up with a clot through the pacemaker. I guess it's a pretty precarious balancing act.
My grandma is pretty upset about it, and the doctors said that there is a good chance that he will need to stay in the hospital overnight after the biopsy to make sure that he is OK. At 91, he has a lot of risk factors that make the procedure dangerous.
Anyhow, we are hoping that everything turns out OK on Wednesday, but I don't know how long after the procedure we will know anything.
So please keep the prayers coming. We really appreciate them.
Oh - I attached a picture of my grandpa so you can see who I am so worried about.
