Quick update on discharge

Morgan is now in hold mode again. Now that they think they have the internal bleeding under control, the doctors want to be sure that the clot issues are resolved. In order to do that, they put him back on IV heparin with the plan to transition him to oral coumadin. If he remains stable on the oral blood thinner, he can go home. The problem is that due to the internal bleeding they will have to go slowly with the coumadin as they wait for it to be at a certain level in his blood. Right now, it looks like Wednesday might be the day that he will hit his exit criteria. He is in good spirits and is using this time to rest and recooperate. We are all learning that patience is a virtue and that the slow, steady progress that he has made will hold him in good stead as he recovers and works his way home.
