Good Night

Mac slept better than she has in a while. The nurse called and her INR level (1.48)is higher than last time, but they still want it above 2. FYI, Her PT level is 16.7, she was at 13 last time. This is the clotting time. The lower the number means it is thicker. They are not as concerned with the PT level as the INR. She will stay on the medicines that she is already on and she can add her antibiotic. They were supposed to stop taking blood test this week, but the nurse put in an order to extend it a week or two. Her next blood test will be Thursday. She will have physical therapy later this morning. The nurses will talk this week and decide what therapy she still needs and what will be covered by Medicare.

She made Parmesan chicken with Lou last night and she squeezed the orange juice this morning. She is trying to do more things. She is looking forward to Annette's arrival tonight. - Kim
