Hi,
It's been a while since I've been to the boards, so I've been out of the loop. Looks like we've had similar difficulties, although by husband's DVT's did not travel to his heart or lungs. The only problem for us was a misdiagnosis from ER in the first place. They sent him home after 4 days observation with pain meds for his back. It was, in fact, a colon rupture and blood clots up and down both legs. He stayed about 3 weeks in the hospital in September and almost died from toxic shock. He, too, will be on Coumadin for the rest of his life. He is better, but will not ever be 100%. We count our blessings, though, and are about to go on vacation and celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. We will pray for your family, and will pray for your husband's continued and complete recovery.
