Doctor's Are Optimistic!

We saw Dr. Salzman today and she is thinking that this should be going away soon, at least in the next 2 weeks. His blood is really thin ,even so that when I gave him his shot this morning he started bleeding, first time that has happened. So they have discontinued his levonox shots and cut his coumadin to 5 mg each night. Just hope that does the trick. I brought up going to see a vascular doctor and they had consulted with one and she said they would be doing the same thing. So we are going to give it 2 weeks and then if things are not better go to another plan. He is still in alot of pain though and they gave us a regimen on how to take the pain meds and it should help alot. He has gained weight which is a good sign, I guess laying around would not burn up many calories. We don't go back to the doctor until Tuesday and they will draw blood to get another level on his coumadin to make sure it stays where it needs to. I am trying to keep him busy to keep his mind off bad things and concentrate on the good! I went and saw my employee that had the wreck in July and she is still not out of the woods yet. She is at the Spain-Rehab but will be going back to the trauma unit because she has stopped eating and needs the feeding tube again. Please in your prayers include her. She(Kristy Jay) REALLY needs them. As usual you have been wonderful in hanging in here with us all this time! Hope to report really good news next week! He is looking forward to watching the Auburn game tonight, just hope they do well(HA!HA!) Those of you who know me know better! Roll Tide! Hugs and kisses to everyone! Alyce
