You laid out observations of everyone around you and gauged how they are handling things, and I'll bet you no one on that list could do the same. This is why your struggles with stress are so intense--you are carrying everyone's, not just your own. <br /><br />Third, it makes perfect sense now why you were reluctant to tell your husband about your medication. If he and his family are so resistant to hospitals, etc., that's a tough crowd to convince. But I'm so glad if it's helped take some edge off your anxiety so that you can function better at this time.<br /><br />Last, thinking of you and wishing you strength and calm.Korinthia Kleinhttp://the-quiet-corner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879690231462568727.post-17551873642110767062012-10-11T21:38:28.378-04:002012-10-11T21:38:28.378-04:00Definitely need to restrict those leafy greens and...Definitely need to restrict those leafy greens and take it easy on the alcohol. Those will mess with his numbers.<br /><br />We had the same concerns with B. He was an otherwise healthy 33 year old man. What the heck?? Because they were being so thorough, they discovered his aortic aneurysm. I'm sure they'll get to the root of K's issues too. They're quite thorough when it comes to this. <br /><br />I think E is being a typical self-absorbed teen and can't help but wonder if she was in self-preservation mode given the losses she's experienced. I wonder if she and M both are freaking a bit because you are their parents and it would be so awful to lose another one...<br /><br />As for the boys, of COURSE they're wigging out! Lil had a terrible time with B in the hospital. She wouldn't go near him she was so scared. She was only 3 and I imagine it was so much harder for the older boys because they really did know what was going on. <br /><br />I was thinking yesterday how grateful I was you were now medicated when going through this. <br /><br />My father had PEs when he was in his early 20's and spent the rest of his life on blood thinners. While it wasn't wonderful, he led a very full and happy life. :o) You adjust and it's another new "normal". Do they know if K will be on the Coumadin for the long term or if it's only for six months? I'm guessing they're still looking for answers. <br /><br />My prayers for your family continue. Hang in there.<br /><br />Hugs Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879690231462568727.post-27127826514014796792012-10-11T13:50:08.466-04:002012-10-11T13:50:08.466-04:00The urge to say "are you OK" is incredib...The urge to say "are you OK" is incredibly strong. It's impossible to not say it. Thinking of you all so much. I hope K continues to do well, and I hope that you can hang in there and take care of yourself in at least some small way.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506648780852424097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879690231462568727.post-2523565679774364052012-10-11T10:48:39.094-04:002012-10-11T10:48:39.094-04:00I don't have much to say, except that I am thi...I don't have much to say, except that I am thinking of you all.JustHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373768249873098150noreply@blogger.com
