Great news!!!!

Well Monday was a great day and a bad day at the same time. First and foremost I want to share the good news. On Monday I had another veinous scan and the blood clot is gone!!!! So praise God I am officially blood clot free for the first time in almost a year!!! I do have to continue taking the cuomadin for about another 2 months. Then they are going to try aspirin therapy and see how I do with that. They did however have to up my dosage of cuomadin again. Apparently I have very thick blood. At first they thought my diet was inhibiting the cuomadin so I was put on a limited vitamin K diet. It is a very hard diet to stick to. You would be amazed at the amount of foods with vitamin K in them. Even once I go on the aspirin therapy I am suppose to stick to my diet. BLAH!!! I am praying that the aspirin therapy will work but I do have my doubts since I developed a new clot within 24 hours of being off the blood thinners the last time and also because they keep having to increase the cuomadin because it isn't theraputic. Like I said though I am going to continue to pray that it will work. I know God works in mysterious ways and he has a plan. The bad part of the day was that we spent a few hours at the mechanics who fixed our air conditioner in the van the last time. They originally told us since it went out so quickly after they fixed it that they would do it this time for free. Well after we sat there for three hours they came and handed us a bill for another $180. I was furious. We argued and nothing was solved so they drained all of the freon out of it so that it would not work. We were going to call the home office but they were closed for the day already. So after wasting most of my last day off for the next two weeks we still had no air conditioner. Kevin temporarily fixed it so currently it is working but we know it won't last long. We did call the home office of the mechanics yesterday. They were very nice and apologized repeatedly. When we go back home they are going to send us to another office and have it repaired for free like they should have done in the first place. So even though I was annoyed it worked out. Jett and Zane had dr's appts a few weeks ago that I have not updated everyone about. I am horrible at blogging! LOL! Zane is doing great. He had his 2 year shots but he really did pretty well with them. He only cried a little. Ofcourse you know at the 2 year appointment they try to get them to talk to make sure they can say 20 words clearly. Well Mr. Talkative would not say one word!!! He just stared at the dr. like he was crazy. So the Dr. took our word for it. Trust me he can say a lot more than 20 words!!! Little stinker! Jett is healthy but they are not happy with his weight. He dropped from the 23rd percentile to the 10th. He weighed only 12 lbs but he had atleast gained weight from his last appt, just not as much as they would want him to. So they told us to go ahead and give him rice cereal and Juice even though normally they don't get them until 6 months. Ofcourse Jett is very happy about that. He loves the Juice. Who can blame him, that formula doesn't look or smell to appetizing. He is such a good baby. He sleeps through the night and has been for quite some time now. He loves to watch his older siblings play and smiles at anyone who pays him any attention or if he even thinks they are talking to him. The girls are still the girls. Justice is still my girly girl and Zoe is as active as ever. They are enjoying learning their shapes, letters, and colors. We have also studied animals and minerals. We plan to work on some social studies soon so that they can learn their new address and so on. Kevin is also doing well. He is starting online classes to be a physical therapist assistant and then he will eventually go to school to be a physical therapist. Not sure how that is going to work with my job but we have always made everything else work out so this will to. I don't want to keep him from following his dreams either. So that is about all that is going on with us currently. Hope everyone is doing well. Big hugs!!
