Anemia: Temporary stops in her medication regimen may be necessary to avoid severe anemia. The blood thinners are important and will most probably be restarted once she recover from her anemia. Recurrent blood clots can be dangerous so have her avoid sitting for long periods of time, drink lots of fluids, avoid tight fitting clothes and exercise daily.
