Wed

Hey!
It is Wednesday evening.
Adam just took a shower, so we could show GJan how to waterproof his PIC line.
She is in charge for a couple of days, then Uncle Danny.
I am headed out of town for a long weekend.
Adam continues to do well.
He is upping his time on the treadmill, and lowering his pain meds.
He slept for 10 hours last night.
Healing sleep is such a gift!
The neighbor stopped us to say how much improvement they've seen in his walking.
His INR responded to the meds... a little too much.
We certainly have to be careful what we pray for!
So, now he skips the coumadin a couple of days and re- tests.
Because of his age, they say it may take a while to stabilize.
He has also had a couple of episodes of rapid heart rate.
Luckily, one of these happened while on the treadmill today.
The cardiac therapist was able to 'run a strip' so the cardiologist could read it.
They have started a new med to try to regulate his heart beat.
The MD says the irregular beat isn't dangerous, just tiring.
Luckily, he is in the MD daily for IV's and in rehab 3 X a week.
They are able to see even small responses to meds.
We are daily reminded of his excellent care, his incredible physicians, supportive friends and family (yes, still bringing in meals for us!)and God's grace.
We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers!
