Just talked to Lou. Mom's doctor told her to take an extra dose of the Coumadin tonight at dinner to bring the INR level up. Tomorrow she is supposed to just take one as normal again. They will test her blood on Thursday (as Kim had noted) and then evaluate if she needs more Coumadin or not. Mom's blood pressure was higher today 158/86. It wasn't yesterday...but it was again today. Don't know yet what that means as far as a change of medication or not.
Her physical therapy went great today. The therapist said that Mom does not need PT anymore...so today was her last visit. She will still continue with the Occupational Therapy. The home health care evaluator will come out at the end of the week to re-evaluate what is still needed with the OT and Nurse.
Mom's spirits are high...though she is still talking of coming home as soon as she can.
Dad is doing well. Not feeling tired out on his walks anymore and not feeling dizzy. I think when Mom was in the hospital he was just not sleeping. Now that she is home he is doing much better.
Mom and Dad are at the pool now with their friends enjoying the sunshine.
