Update II.

Some good news. Heather can have Hepryn [sp?], and it won't hurt the baby. She was given a shot of it late last evening. The pain diminished quickly, which pretty much confirms a clot.

I couldn't stay with her (semi-private room), but that made the kids happy. Mom and Dad spoiled them rotten with pizza, popcorn and cartoons.

A pulmonary specialist will be visiting today to see if it was an embolism. The specialist has to visit before any other tests or scans will be done. The long and short of it is that she may--may--be coming home today.

Finally, a huge thanks to the head of ER for Mount Clemens Regional Hospital, Dr. Saad. He was certain it was a clot, and was determined to have her admitted. The first two doctors demurred, but he found one who authorized admission. Thank you very much, Doctor.
