Long Road Ahead!

This weekend has been quite busy. Andy woke up Saturday morning in horrible pain--the worst yet as well as major swelling and bruising. I called Dr Thomas and he informed us this was not normal and to head over to his house immediately. We arrived at his house and after an examination he concluded that Andy might be suffering from blood clots in his calf and thigh. He sent us directly to the ER where we sat and waited to be seen. 4 hours and a dopler (sp?) ultrasound later Andy had the beginnings of a blood clot. We were sent home with several new prescriptions to help with the pain and to thin his blood. Here are some pictures of his poor leg.... We have a long road of recovery ahead of us, but I think it will be worth it in the end!!
