Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hi Laurie and , I just want to add my prayers and good thoughts to the many good thoughts and prayers that you have received from this great group of people!!! It is so nice to see that we are all so close and caring and are always here for each other no matter if our lives are quickly racing down a rocky road :-\ or we are on cloud 9 and the sky is the limit. :-) I hope your father is feeling better soon. Btw , I remember some time ago that your husband was in the hospital for some kind of bleeding issues, or something(sorry my mito brain is on full power tonight :-[ ). How is he doing and did they ever find out what was going on with him? I hope he is doing better too!! Even though we are all sick we still have so many obligations to attend to on a daily basis. I know I am forever grateful for my husband...who is my caregiver. Our parents love us, nurture us, guide us, care for us, etc... when we are young, and then as we mature and they age WE love them, nurture them, guide them, care for them, etc.... I call it the " Circle of Life " Hugs, Ann-Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Ann-Marie, Thank you to you and everyone else for all your loving cares thoughts and prayers. It means the world to Laurie and I. My husband had a blood clot in his leg, celullitis in the same leg and double pneumonia. Two months later he is finally back to work. He has a genetic blood condition he found out where he clots more than he should, so he will need to be on blood thinners for the rest of his life. I heard last night that the actress Principle has a similar problem. Thanks again for thinking of us and asking how things were going. I hope things are at least on a even keel at your house. I know the heat isn't easy for most of us and it has been in the low 90's all week here in Michigan.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I don't mind you asking at all. He saw a hematologist to begin with and his PCP is now following him. He doesn't have high anti-cardiolipin antibodies though, he has a Factor V Leiden gene mutation. Our daughter has a 50% chance of also having the mutation. ohgminion wrote: >I am sorry to hear about your husband's dx, I'm glad to hear he is >back at work.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thanks so much, I was leaning towards seeing a hematologist because of the necessity of going on a blood thinner, even if it is just aspirin. I am in the situation where I had one high value, other normal values, and nobody's really sure if the one high value was correct or a fluke. High anticardiolipin antibodies are associated with increased stroke and heart attack risk, as well as multiple miscarriages (I've had one, but they're not sure if it was related). I haven't had a good clotting panel done, but have had previous problems with not clotting enough and bleeding (strangely enough since they think I have a high amount of antibodies that make me clot *too much*), so it's probably high time I see a hematologist.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 It is not something you want to mess around with. My husband can vouch for that.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 HI , Sorry that your husband has had so many problems with his health. My Mom has also had problems with blood clots. She had one in her lung and one in her leg. They have her on Coumadin for the rest of her life, just like her hubby. Things here are okay. Too hot for me!! High 90's again today. It is taking so much out of me. Arrrgghhhh!!!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 We have had low 90's all week. I think it gets to a certain point and it really doesn't matter what the thermometer read.
