Protein C Deficiency

We finally have some answers!!! My hubby went to the doctor

today and he told him he has a protein C deficiency which

results in clotting! Apparently...he has had it his whole life,

but it just decided to manifest itself now.

So he will have to be on blood thinner for the rest

of his life...which is fine. There are no long term effects from

taking the blood thinner. It is only an issue if he were to

be in an accident.

He had is leg checked today because he was having some mild

pain in it since he had been off the blood thinner. It looks

like there is still a clot in there. Not a new one.........

just still left over from the original.

So I was reading on the Internet and it says that the protein

c deficiency is a genetic disorder.....which makes me a little

nervous. He is going to ask the Dr. next time he goes in if

the girls need to be tested for it. I hope not~~~

But it is better to know if we need to!!

So our saga continues....but it is a good one. We are all

doing well and we are blessed!!!
