The pneumatic booties, they also have pneumatics for the lower legs, inflate periodically and then deflate. They keep that blood moving from his lower extremities back up towards his torso. Moving blood is less likely to clot. It sounds like they have that on his legs now, so that's good.

We're going to keep praying.
