Mon. Feb.9th

From Teresa... We've been doing the blood thinning/thickening act. Tami finished the antibiotic a week ago Friday. Last Monday we checked her level and it was 5.5(still too thin). So she ate salads with a lot of dark leafy greens and went without the cumidin a few days. On Wed. it was back down to perfect at a 2.5. So back on a small dose of cumidin. We checked it again today(Mon.) and it's too thick at 1.1. So now we increase the dose a little more and check again on Thurs. The spot where they gave her a shot of vitamin k two weeks ago in her stomach, developed a reaction. We were in to the doctor to have it checked the other day and had to get a strong cortizone cream for it. I guess we will need to avoid anymore shots of it and just get the vitamin k in foods.

Tami came to the library today with me.(the first time since her stroke) We left the girls home with Albert. She's getting around fairly well with my shoulder as her cane. More later...Teresa.
