Update 8.24.15



The INR test was within range but close to the low end.  It was 2.6, just above the 2.5 minimum.  The clinic raised the amount of Coumadin for tonight and tomorrow.  It will be checked again on Wednesday when we go in to the UWMC to see the surgeon, Dr. Mokadam, and four other appointments.

The weight is coming off nicely now.  The day after a double dose of the drug, John usually loses 2-3 pounds.  The day after a single dose, he stays the same or gain a little, .5-1.0 pounds.  Two steps forward and one back, but hopefully it make the doctor happy.  The leg swelling is way down as well.
