Duke 2012 – Day 7 – The End

Although there is a much longer and MUCH better story to tell about today, let me just get the basic stuff blogged. Tami’s INR this morning was 2.0. At 1.8 we could have argued to please, please, pleeeeease let us go home. At 2.0 (the preferred minimum) the doctor’s comment (yes, the one from yesterday with no personality) was “I’m sorry, we are going to have to throw you out of here.” So we got cleaned up,… (here’s where the other great story or two gets put in later…), waited for discharge papers, and got out of Dodge, um, Durham. Home now, both of us getting ready to go back to the “real world” tomorrow. Glad today for a good God, good doctors and nurses, and good medicines. Keep praying that Tami’s new diuretic keeps working and that her energy and strength return to normal.
