of relief that he is going to be OK because the quick timing he got a drug to stop any clot and get blood flowing again saved him and younger stroke patients are more likely to benefit from this early treatment

i am not familiar with strokes and am unable to provide anything noteworthy on them.
sorry. i will tell you that i am glad you are with your son and i know he is comforted that you are there. ask questions when you don't understand--ask questions even if you understand. i just saw your latest update and i'm glad you are not waiting by yourself. i wish only the best for you and your son. you are both in my thoughts. i know it is very stressful; try to rest, try to eat something.

28. I'm not a doctor but my family has had some experience with heparin.
|
It sounds like they think he had a mild stroke caused by a blood clot, so they're giving him a blood thinner to get that taken care of, and they're doing tests to see what else, if anything, might be the matter.
If this was a stroke, the good thing is that you caught this while it was still mild and got him to the hospital. The doctors and nurses will know how to take it from there. But as a mother of young adults, I know how hard it is to just sit there helplessly and have to wait. There's nothing worse than having to go through something like this with our children. |
