TIRED OF THIS CRAZY COUMADIN !!

Our week started out a lot different then we had planned. Monday morning we went to get his coumadin level checked and we were all just talking and once the nurse just stopped and looked at me really funny and told me it was 7.0 I told her that is not right do it again and it wasn't a false reading. Normal for him should be between 2 and 3 if it gets to 3 that is pretty thin already you can tell it takes alot longer for him to stop bleeding, 7 is really thin. We called Dr Arensman and he said to go over to the hospital and do a lab draw. He was still thinking that something was wrong with the machine cause as of last Monday it was 2.3. It turned out that the lab draw was 7.7 Dr Bies was in contact with Dr Arensman and they decided that it was not safe to have him go home because even a small bump or bruise could be severe as he could bleed out really fast. We was admitted and Dr Beis came over and checked him out and along with Dr Arensman they decided to just watch him over night and get it rechecked Tue morning so we played the rest of the day and watched movies, I think he even had fun:) Blood test this morning was 3.5 PRAISE THE LORD!! We are at home and go to Louisville tomorrow to see his surgeon and get a another check done tomorrow. We don't really know what caused this but he has been sick this last week and maybe that had something to do with it. We talked about when he does come down with something we should have him checked more often. Poor Dr Beis will probably hear from us more often as this scared the wits out of me, might just put him on speed dial:) He is great, don't know what we would do without him. Hoping everything goes good tomorrow, Ill let you know
