We are having a great week! Dad had a blood draw on Monday and his doctor said it is in the perfect range right now, but we will do a couple more over the next 2 weeks to make sure it stays there. That was good news because they had called me Friday wanting to add more blood thinner to his med mix and I asked to do one more draw on Monday because his previous tests were showing progress after he stopped taking the Celebrex. Sure enough - it turned out the way I expected. In fact, I predict with the water intake dad has now and being off that other medicine, that we can get him back down to a lower dose of blood thinner, which is our desire (that stuff is not good for you - it's just a necessary evil!)
My brother Dave and my Uncle Tommy were at the house last night planning the next phase of construction for dad's bathroom. . . it's coming along. Dad is so excited about it - he said he can't wait to take his first shower in it! We've had to bed bathe him since he came home in June - so this will be so good for him. Plus, it's great occupational therapy for him to sit at the mirror and do all his personal hygiene.
Looking forward to Labor Day weekend and seeing the Sowers clan (mom's side) at the picnic. We'll keep you posted!
