“I feel like he’s my son, but he’s also my hero, I can’t even imagine if he hadn’t said what he did. What would have happened. I want to bring awareness about blood clots. I’m thirty-two, and I didn’t even know what a pulmonary embolism was” Kimberly says.
The pulmonary embolism was formed as a result of her surgery to give birth and a genetic condition which put her at higher risk of getting blood clots. If these clots travel to the legs and get stuck in the veins, the condition is known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). DVT is highly painful and patient might not know when the blood clot could travel to the heart or brain and death can occur at any time.
Luckily for Kimberly, for once she listened to her son and went to the doctor at the right time.
