Yay! Mom's blood hit the target range this evening. It stayed there for 2 testings, so now she gets to go all night without having blood drawn! Very exciting! She might even sleep. :) They'll check again in the morning to see if it stays as thin as they want all night with the Heparin drip dosage they've got her on. Plus they're starting the Coumadin tonight. She'll be on that for probably six months (unless they find that she actually has a blood disorder that caused the clots, in which case it'll be unending treatment). So we'll go from here in the morning...
I took the boys out to see her this evening. I'm not sure who was more excited, her or them! Some of Mom's friends from their church small group came while we were there and brought flowers...and those really cool bubbles that you can actually catch without popping. Mom was already taking the boys for "rides" with her on her hospital bed! Uuuuuup, dooooowwn, uuuuup, doooowwwn!! Then they had bubbles to play with, too. It was quite a hospital visit. :) Dad and I just laughed. That woman will never grow up...and it's one of the things we just love about her!

It is so good to hear that your mom is doing a little better. I know she must have been so sad to not get to spend the day with you. You are such a sweet daughter to her....she is as lucky to have you as you are her.
Hey! I am glad to hear that she is doing better!
