The Clot Filter Has Been Placed
Jane tells me the procedure to place the I.V.C. (blood filter) went very well. They really only had to move her across the hall to do it, instead of downstairs to the operating rooms, but any time they move a patient with that many tubes going in and out it's an ordeal.
Jane also tells me tat they in fact did have to use dye to place the device. She said they gave her several things, including a bicarbonate drip, to prepare her kidney and reduce the shock of the dye, and they will also increase her hydration after to help flush it out, but it will be very hard on her kidney.
The risk of clots in the lungs is dramatically reduced now.

Hi - I only know of Amacker through her efforts with Mr Gaiman's dog and her wonderful website. Just wanted to say I hope she continues a good recovery and that people she's never even imagined are sending positive prayers/vibes/thoughts (delete as appropriate) because the world needs people like her and the family who could produce her. All the best, literally, from Scotland. (Not including deep-fried Mars bars though. Might not be a good idea right now).
