Shelly's Clot Filter

The biggest danger right now for Shelly is that her injuries may be producing clots (which she has a history of) which could migrate to the lungs and be potentially fatal. This morning the doctors installed a device in the vein that leads to the lungs to act as a type of clot filter. One of her surgeons said, "We may not be able to stop her body from making clots right now, but we can stop them from being as dangerous."
