Here we are 2 months after my "Angelbutterfly" got sick. Beth is doing really good. She is having to take Coumadin, to make sure she doesn't have anymore blood clots. I am getting a little more comfortable with her taking it. But, I am still very cautious. And watch her diet very closely so that she can continue to take the low dosage that she is on now. She began on 7.5 mg and is down to 2.5mg. We have 4 more months for her to take it hopefully and then she should be able to come off of it.
We have to be very careful to make sure she doesn't fall or get hurt. Because the Coumadin makes her blood thin and she will bleed and bruise very easily.
Her Dr. x-rayed her lung last Thursday and it is completely inflated. Thank you God. We were told that she would have some damage to that lung. But God made sure she didn't.
Things are slowly getting back to the way things were before Beth got sick. Some folks would call that "back to normal". It has been very hard. I didn't want to let her out of my site for fear something would happen and I wanted her to be with me should it.
Her Dr's told me I had to let go again. And they have been great, but they were men and no way can they know a Mother's Love. and Need to Protect.
I have let go so so slowly, " Baby Steps".
Beth has gone back to school and I am adjusting the fact that she has 3 super teachers sure helps alot.
Thanks, Christine, Shelia, and Diane.
Christine is so super and caring she told me she would keep her cellphone with her at all times so if I was worried I could call her anytime. And she called me just to let me know things were OK. She will never know what that meant to me.
I guess the saying ' Time heals" is true. Beth is pretty much but to "normal" maybe even better. I have no idea how long she had that blood clot. I just Thank God with all my heart it is gone now.
As for me, I am recovering from this horrible mightmare.
It does not consume my mind constantly like it did.
It still likes to hover in my mind when I go to bed. but that is getting better too. Am finally getting to the point to where I am feeling things are going to be alright.
After all, our Children are gifts God has given us to love and care for and they are his before ours. And the best way I can look at it, Is to Thank him for the days I have had and ask him for tomorrow.
