Well............................

Not today. The numbers actually dropped a bit and since she had a 7.5 last night, its unlikely that they will increase tomorrow. Tonight she gets a 10. I wish I could tell you how frustrating andd depressing this is. The doctor was equally bummed out, but there is little else to do given the nature of the drug. What it does tend to show is that she has some type of clotting problem such as Factor 5 or some other chronic condition sometimes brought on trough various illnesses. None of us want to risk her coming home and possibly throwing a clot, so we are still on the best course of action, such as it is.

I want to again thank you all. We're both trying not to be too depressed over this and we will once again do something to make it a big day and weekend for Michael. He and Mom had a long talk on the phone and he was "cool" with things and we'll head up there later and have a small party. Tomorrow we'll organize something with Connie and Wayne and their boys for a better party, but again, probably at the hospital. They were going to come down for a big dinner and party, but we'll work it out there.

Thanks folks.......It'll work out. We love you all.
