It's a pulmonary embolism... the blood clot usually comes from a vein in the pelvis, abdomen or leg. It's bad, but it's not the worst thing that can happen. Most people (especially young people) are able to recover from this. They're going to most likely put her on anticoagulatants (Lovenox, Coumidin) while she's in the hospital, and then they'll send her home with some as well.
She's definately in my prayers Agey. Blood Clots of any kind in any place are something to be taken seriously, but she is in the best hands of those who studied for at least 8 years to get to where they are! Just have faith that God will be with her (seeing as he is the ultimate doctor, eh?) and that the doctors will take the best course of action. :) I'll be prayin for you and your family.
Oh, could you say a blurb or two in your prayers for me? Something's going on in my body and its causing my heartrate to rise a lot. I see the doc next week, but please say a quick prayer that it will just go away!!! :)
