He has been blind in his right eye since birth and only has use in his left eye, which became blurry, wavy lines, and watery. We were told to go to ER, for workup of stroke. He has multiple blood clots in the right eye, restricted blood flow in the left eye. They are currently doing tests on his heart. He has had bypass, 2 heart attacks, stents in his heart and legs. The Drs. are stumped since he has been on plavix, coumadin, and baby aspirin each and every day without fail for the last 6 years. He gets his INR done faithfully per Dr. orders. He has done everything he has been told to do. He wasn't told the stents could cause blood clots, because of his condition, (and blood defiencies) he would never have consented. We are praying everything will work out, but he's been there 2 days, and all we know is that they increased his coumadin and put him on heparin IV and still giving him a baby aspirin per day. If you have any questions, please contact me. Karen McCarty, wife My husband has had stents aforementioned and is at this very day, in the hospital with a TIA and showering clots.
