Very sorry for your loss Elaine

Glad your BIL is on the mend

I am very sorry to here your sad news. Your family is in my prayers.

Well, the funeral went very well (if you know what I mean) and brother-in-law went back for the further tests yesterday morning, they still couldn't understand what was wrong so he was allowed out for the funeral then had to go back for a scan. Turns out it was a DVT after all. It had got stuck in his spleen hence the enlargement and in turn this was messing up his white blood count. Luckily they had injected him with warfarin on Friday so the DVT has dispersed. He had a transfusion of three pints of saline today in order that he can fly back on Thursday.

I know we all moan about the NHS from time to time but thank goodness for all the marvellous doctors and nurses out there.

That's great, if YKWIM, hope he makes a very quick recovery

Its good they have finally found out what was wrong. It was fortunate they had already treated him as a suspected DVT.

I hope he continues to recover & has a good flight home.

Wishing him a speedy recovery

At least your BIL's condition was finally correctly diagnosed.

Glad that the funeral went well
