You need so much prayer, it’s not even funny.
Chris
I think I hear her coming back. We’ll continue this later.

“Great catch, Dr. Kennedy. He does indeed have a blood clot.”
My stomach clenched. “It’s still in his calf, right? No other clots anywhere else?”
“No. But it is a big one, so we’ll need to keep him to monitor it as we start him on blood thinners. We want to ensure it doesn’t travel.”

Chris wasn’t out of the woods yet. I hated that, but at the same time, the hospital was the best place for him if the clot did in fact travel upward.
