major set back

saturday at 4am, karen woke up and we walked to the restroom and back to the bed. when back at the bed she was not breathing very well and was complaining about pain in her left rib area. even though i was somewhat sure this was not a heart attack, but i could not be that sure because of her left side numbness. after lynette and i talked we decided to call 911 and we went to the hospital where we found out karen had a blod clot in both lungs. she stayed over night and came home today on blood thinners. the problem with this is that for the avastin treatments cannot be done while there is any blood thinner in her system. i am not sure if she can EVER star the avastin because of this. tomorrow is going to be a big day for me as i try to figure out what is next and if we now have to search nation and world wide for help.
