On the 16th August Steven was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn, he was diagnosed with Endocarditis, an infection of the heart valve. After antibiotic care in the Hospital, the decision was made to transfer him to Papworth Hospital, in Cambridge, to assess the condition of his heart valve and maybe replacing it if necessary.
Today after 6 weeks in hospital Steven was eventually discharged in spite of reluctance from the registrar because his INR was so low.
Steven will have to self administer Clexane, and have to have blood tests taken every other day, in about 2 weeks time Steven will have to have another blood culture done to make sure there is no infection, Steven has to take care in case of a secondary infection.
