Claire had a much better day today. She slept well last night for 14 hours! That in and of itself helped today to be much happier for all. Although 2 legs in a cast is worse than one, we are very grateful we had her right leg checked yesterday and got it taken care of. That's probably one of reasons she slept so well last night. Having the right leg also in a cast, although it seems it would be more uncomfortable, has actually made her more comfortable because now it is isolated from movement and it can heal properly. She was happy for the most part today. She gets frustrated because she can't get what she wants; and just as any other 2 year old, communication is still not 100% perfect. But I'm sure we'll find new things for stationary entertainment as the weeks go on.
She did have to go into the hospital today for a quick blood draw. They are having a hard time getting the lovenox shots at the right dose. Her heparin level was fine for the first few weeks, and now it is too high. We've had to change the dose twice this week as they've tried to figure out what the appropriate level is for her. The blood draw today was another heparin level and they changed the dose again to see if that works. I'm sure they'll get it figured it out soon.
Happy Sabath. And Happy November! What a great month full of gratitude we have ahead of us!
Her new way of getting around the house. Until dad's back starts to hurt.
I think she was most frustrated today because she couldn't push her baby stroller around. Creative daddy fixed that problem!!
