My sister has been recovering from a serious fall. She has a broken arm and a partial hip replacement both on the left side. She also has been suffering from the stomach flu. Sandy called and said that my sister's name had popped up after a cancellation that she had. I explained to her that we were suffering from the stomach flu. Sandy said that it was OK and could she come visit? Sandy came to visit and called me into the room. She explained to us that her O2 level was 89. She also said that her heart rate was high at rest. She thought that she might have blood clots. She asked me to take her to the emergency department as soon as possible.
We drove directly to the ER at Mercy Jefferson. My sister had multiple blood clots in her lungs and her left leg. Sandy saved my sister's life!! There is no way that I can thank her enough for what she has done for my family. I have my sister with me still because of Sandy!
