We saw the primary care doctor last week and she was very pleased with how well Nate was doing. She even noticed that his color has started to return and that he was walking better. She is a really great doctor and see spends as much time with us as we need. She said his blood work looked good and that the iron pills are doing their job. We have noticed a huge improvement with his coloring and his energy levels. Home health is still coming to check his INR levels in his blood to make sure the coumadin is working how it should. His levels are were they need to be and everything looks good with that. The blood clot is still causing some major swelling in his right leg. It gets very bad sometimes but the pain seems to not be as bad. They expect him to be on the coumadin for at least 6 months. They want him to start physical therapy to work on getting his strength back. He still has a hard time walking around and gets very tired. We have left the house a few times but he has to use his walker which is equipped with tennis balls :)
Hopefully after a month of PT, he will be able to go back to work. I think he is getting anxious to get back there. I know he misses it alot.
Thank you all for your continued support. We appreciate it and love you all. We hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
