From Teresa... Last Wednesday's blood work number was a little high, 3.5 (The doctor wants it between 2 and 3). So she had us drop the dose a bit for one night and have Tami eat more dark green veggies or salads. The green stuff contains vitamin K ,which helps your blood clot. We went back in for another check Fri. morning and it was down to 2.2 . So back up to the regular dose except on Wed. we drop it down a notch, and only have to check it every two weeks now. Yeah!
On Thurs. at noon there is a" stroke support" group meeting. Albert, Grandma Ann, Tami, and I all hope to go to it. (I just need to line up a sitter for the girls still.) Tami's really hoping to gain some insight on how other people deal with their stroke challenges.
Tami is improving more each day at her therapy sessions. (baby steps). Her hair is about 1/2 inch long now and looks really cute with some hair gel in it. It has her natural curl and it's hard to see the scar anymore. Her daughters have us laughing all day long with what they say and do. They give her the motivation to keep hanging in there. One of her main goals is to be able to pick up and carry Ella again. Anyway...More later...Teresa.
