They finally got his INR straightened out with the transfusion. He was down to 1.1 yesterday so he's back on the coumadin. Hopefully he won't have to go through that again! He's been plagued with stomach pains still. Not sure what that's about. Michael's friend Andy was kind enough to send us a gift certificate for 2 nights at the Chicago Marriott so we're planning on doing that after Christmas. I'm looking forward to it...we'll try and pretend for a few days that everything is perfectly normal...no doctors or hospitals!
