Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for posting your query in hcm.
I appreciate your concerns regarding your mother in law. At this point I will suggest you to take her to emergency and get her admitted. I dont know whether you have stopped clopilet- a or not which also have to be stopped immediately as this also leads to bleeding along with clexane. Passing of blood in stool means significant bleed. She requires few tests also and accordingly transfusion of platelets or fresh frozen plasma. She may also require endoscopy and colonoscopy examination to see for the site of bleeding. She may also require blood transfusion. So admission is must.
I hope I have answered your query and rhis will help you.
Wish her a good health
