He slept most of yesterday, in fact asked me this AM what happened to yesterday. Feeling better today but had a bout of low blood sugar at breakfast time. It's back up to the safe zone now and hopefully in a little while we can get out for a bit. Thanks so much for all you prayers and good thoughts. Hope you have a most wonderful New Year.

Good to hear that he is back home.
My grandmother used to get anemic and have intestinal bleeding, while she was on blood thinners. Several times, she had transfusions. Just wondering if your hubby is on any meds which might be causing the bleeding?
Hope he continues to improve. Hang in there! We're here for you, if you need us.

They took him off the thinners a couple of years ago. We should know something definitive by mid-Jan or so. Until then we watch carefully. Thanks for all the good thoughts.

You May want to watch if you or you give the dogs Fish oil, It acts as a blood thinner. Had a friend who gave it to her Newf, then dog need to have TTA, vet said had trouble with bleeding.

he's doing much better but saw some evidence this AM that the bleeding has started again. Will call GI doc tomorrow and report, may need to move endoscopies up.

Had some more difficulty Sun night, checked into ER. They gave him some more oxygen and checked the hemoglobin again. Going down. Endoscopies moved up to 1-17-12 and location moved from ambulatory center to hospital. That tells me they are very concerned. I don't think that has dawned on him yet and I don't intend to tell him. I have cardiology check up today and will tell Dr. (we use same one). One other concern- from the heart viewpoint. When they tried to draw blood last Thursday, it coagulated too fast when just a small amount for the test. Will also ask Dr. today what that portends, it's good for the bleeding but not so for getting blood through his arteries and heart. GI has now referred him to hemotology. I thought the only depts. we hadn't used at the clinic were OB and psychiatry. Guess I missed one- between us we've seen, Internal Med, Cardiology, Gastro, Neurology, Oncology, Opthalmology, Gyn, Dermatology, Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Orthopedics, pain management, Podiatry, Surgery- and now Hemotology. There can't be too much left. Getting old ain't for wimps remember that folks. Someone ought to be able to make a rap song out of all that!! :roflmao:

I'm so sorry to hear he's had so much to go through lately. Thoughts and prayers are with you both. Hopefully the doctors figure this out and get him on the road to all better very soon.
