Blood Clot

Josh is back at his home away from home... UAB Hospital. He'd been having pain in his neck around the port area for about 4 days. It got worse and was red and swollen also this morning, so he called the oncall dr. who told him to go to the ER because it could be an infection or blood clot at the port site. Turns out it's the latter. So they admitted him to the hospital and started him on blood thinners. They want to try to leave the port in if possible because he still has to do more chemo after surgery, but if the blood thinners don't do the trick they'll remove the port. He'll be in the hospital at least over the weekend. Keep us in your prayers--
