Feb. 2014…..

As you can see Maggie came home!!! She is doing much better and we are all very happy about that!

Ron has been glad to not have to go the Huntsman Center for a while.  However he has had to go get his INR tested more than he likes.  It shouldn't be a big deal.  But Ron never seems to make anything the easy way.  His first test went well and his range was right where they wanted it.  The next one was a bit higher so they said they wanted him tested again sooner this time.  So on Monday we went in for the "routine" test.  They had to poke his figures 5 times!!! Yep every single finger got poked and they never could get a reading.  It kept saying error 5 which means not enough blood was being given to the machine.  Which was soooooooooo not true he was giving them all the blood they needed!!! So they sent him home we called the doc and he said to wait for tomorrow and go try again.  If it didn't work they were going to have to draw blood and run a different kind of test.  Which did not make Ron too happy!! (Bless his heart)

Soooo  We went back again today.  The first poke came back as error 6.  Different from yesterday but still not reading.  So the tech called someone in the know and they told her to try it a different way.  FINALLY they got a good read.  His blood level is too high 3.8 they want it in the range of between 1 and 2.  So now they can adjust his meds and then he gets to go be tested again on Friday.  Ron has not been feeling too great lately so this didn't help at all.  But as always we will continue to do what is best for Ron and keep on keeping on.

We did make it to Payson this weekend to see Grace do a little ballet review for us.  It was so darling!!! We love our little girls!!!

Ron was really not feeling well that day, and we had taken the truck so I got to drive that beast home!! I didn't like that at all.  But Ron is a great teacher so it was ok.

And the fight continues. ….        FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
