Brooke had a good weekend - thank goodness. It was a little scarey with her INR sitting at 4.5! That's seriously thin blood. Any cut, scrape or a bloody nose could've been super serious. I crammed her full of spinach and broccoli and Pistachio pudding...all the things she loves but usually can't have due to their vitamin K. (Vitamin K is a clotting agent, so people on blood thinners have to watch their intake of foods with vitamin K.) The home health nurse comes tomorrow to re-check her blood. Hopefully the INR level is substantially lower! She went back on her Coumadin last night, so we'll see how it goes. She seems to feel better finally. No fever for about 3 days now, so maybe whatever it was she had has worked its course. Albq. doctors are supposed to call next week with the game plan.
Mike got home mid-afternoon today. YAY! He's been in Austin for an invitational track meet since Thursday...he loved Austin. The bluebonnets were in bloom and he even stopped by the side of the road and picked me two. How sweet is that! I've been to Austin twice, but never in the spring when the bluebonnets are blooming. I would love to see that! We're glad he's home safe and sound.(I knew he'd eventually grow to love my state!)
Brooke was outside when Mike was mowing earlier and he lost her. That's a bad feeling for sure. She had gotten in her car all by herself and was just sitting there, in the garage, with the door closed. How funny is that? So we went for a ride. She cracks us up!
Thank you for your continued prayers!
