I am so happy to say that my dad is now home and resting in his own bed! We don't have any clear answers as to why he has internal bleeding but the doctors are assuming that it is his medication (Coumadin, Plavix and aspirin). Each one of these drugs can cause bleeding but when you are taking all three at high dosages you run an even greater chance of this happening. They have taken him off Plavix but are continuing with the other two. He had 4 blood transfusions and his last hemoglobin level came back normal. His blood pressure is also in the normal range. My dad takes 15 different medications so I guess we are lucky that this was the first time he has experienced a bad side effect from one or more of them.
I've had so many friends and family tell me that they are praying for my dad. I can't thank you enough! What a blessing you all have been to my dad and to our entire family.
May God bless you!
