The blood clot he has is in his neck not arm. They're hoping it won't travel to his heart or lungs or brain.Using all the meds they can to help the situation. They said the clots he is getting is probably due to the part of the brain that controls clotting, and it is on overdrive; that the platelets are doing their job in one area and then inviting all the other platelets to join too. Having a party unwanted. So they aren't thinning the blood, they are stopping it from getting bigger. When they get too big then they start to branch off and break apart and we don't want that.
