Monday morning...

Good morning! Beth had a restful sleep last night. The floor was relatively quiet, I was with her all night, and some of the pain has gone away. She had a good bit of phlegm in her throat last night and this morning. This has made her a little nauseous. We do believe that she may have stepped too far yesterday in the realm of eating, so we are going to go a little slower today with what she eats.

The plan for her as it stands will be this:
Treating blood clot - stay on blood thinner for roughly 6 months. They will then do the genetic testing at that time to see if she is genetically prone to producing clots.
Acid reflux - stay on Nexium for at least 6-8wks and then reassess from there
Esophagus spasms - stay on Levicin or a related drug indefinitely to treat the spasms in her GI tract.
Anxiety - she will be given something to help calm her a little bit, especially when there are intense moments

Hope you are all doing well. It is good to hear from you on the comments. We love to read them! Thanks again.

Dale & Beth,

Thanks for allowing us to partner with you in prayer through this difficult time! I can almost hear Ms. Beth telling those doctors "Let's just put the cookies on the table!" We still use that here at Kid's Harbor. :)

We love you guys and are praying for you.
