I will refer to the "Alphabet Soup" number in this and future posts. That is because I can not remember the three letter abreviation. It is the test to check blood thinner levels. The magic number we are looking for is something greater than 2 and less than 3. Jeanne's Alphabet Soup number yesterday was 1.3. I think it was 1.1 when she entered the hospital last Friday. The Doc did increase the Coumadin intake from 7.7 mg to 10 mg on Wednesday but it only made a slight difference. I think that the Coumadin is somewhat cululative in the body so they need to move slow.
She can come home when we hit 2.3
Pray for 2.3
