Beth is back in the hospital, ICU now. She had some bad days the last few weeks and got to feeling bad and forgot to take her medicine everytime she was supposed to and had to go to the ER last night. She was just sitting on the couch and then she had chest tightness and short of breath, paramedics came and said she was fine but we took her to ER anyway and they said her oxygen in her blood was way too low. Ct scan revealed an embelisims(?), blood clots in each lung and was lucky nothing serious happened because of it, we dont know too much at this time other than the baby is healthy and she is doing much better today but I am not sure how long she will be in there now. She was put on bedrest because of the last set of clots and getting lots of cramping when she walked too much so she was told to stay in bed as much as possible and her boss decided he needed a fulltime worker so he knocked her down to part time and took away her insurance:( Right now we just need her to get healthy and get through this.
 
JD & Beth,

Please let me know if there is anything i can do for you guys. My firm represents HCR Manor Care (a large health care provider) and one of my good friends is an expert in medical law and another is very interested in your situation as it is unjust to remove medical insurance from a person under care. Christian also checked with his people and we both agree you should seek representation. Please let me know if you need any additional information. I have the entire Arizona Medical book available and in PDF format...I could email it to you easily. We could also get you the labor laws for Arizona.

You are both in my prayers.
 
Just got home, she is doing better but still in danger. She has a clot on each side blocking the blood supply between her lungs and heart and they told her if she had waited much longer she may not of made it:( Took her down last night and installed some sort of filters in 3 blood vessels to hold the 2 clots and one near her heart to catch any other clots that may be in her system from making it to her heart just in case. Got her pumped full of IV blood thinners and said the first 24 hours is the roughest and should see more improvement tomorrow. Baby is fine and kicking:) Just need mama to get better and stay better:)
 
Been a few days so I figured I would give you all an update:) She is looking and acting much more like herself and feeling much better but still not out of the woods. The clots arent shrinking really and one side of her heart is enlarged or something, they say its because her heart was overworking itself trying to get oxygen and until it returns to normal she will be stuck in ICU. It sucks because she wants to come home and I want her to be home but I also really like the way this hospital seems to care about her well being more than the last one she was in that seemed more than happy to rush her home twice only to end up back there a few days later. She wanted me to say hello to everyone and that she is happy for all the well wishes and prayers:) Thank You Everyone:)
 
Quick update before I head off to work! She is out of ICU and into a regular room now and hoping to be home by the weekend as long as everything continues to get better!! :) She is now walking (ICU you cant do anything except lay in bed) and regaining her strength back and as long as she continues to be able to breathe good and her oxygen levels stay up she should be home in a few days.
