Yesterday was a God send for me! Michael felt and looked better than he has since we found out about the blood clots in his legs. He actually wanted to go to dinner at Hernandez (his favorite local Mexican Restaurant) and ate until he was stuffed!! We both got an good nights sleep which is huge!! He's got five more days until the next round of chemo and we're going to enjoy every single one of them!

The only snag right now is that the Oncologist is trying to regulate his blood clotting factor with the coumadin and Michael's INR was very high meaning his blood is way too thin. It was 6.9 and he should be between 2-3. That could be another reason why he's so tired. I told them the coumadin dose they were giving him was way too high compared to what the GP was giving him back in July, so they are cutting back on the coumadin and testing his blood nearly everyday. They are a little concerned that the tumors in the liver might start bleeding...but I think he'll be fine once he cuts back on the coumadin.
