Back to Life

Good news on the health front: Tests came back negative for any genetic factors relating to my blood clots. My blood levels were good today, although my daily dosage keeps going up. I'm still waiting to hear from the Hematology specialist. My Dr. is just hoping to get someone to back him up that I can go off the Coumadin therapy by March, believing wholeheartedly that the clots were only brought on by the paralytic symptoms related to Guillain-Barré. A girl can hope!

More snow today on top of the ice made for some treacherous driving this morning. Because my dear husband decided to take our Yukon, that left me with the Thunderbird. Ummm...I don't think that I have driven that car in the winter in at least 4 years. Seriously. And today wasn't a good day to give it a whirl. So, I stole my parents Trailblazer (which was very nice btw!). Maybe we should look into getting a more Winter friendly vehicle as our 2nd car. Something to ponder...

On a totally different topic, it's that time of year again! Planning the birthday party for the twins! This year we are having a "kid" only party-no parents allowed-and have hired a clown (whom the girls already know and love) to be the main attraction. We've opted for the big party instead of presents this year...they certainly don't need any more from us! It should be fun and I'm also hoping to give the parents a break for a few hours...we can all use that from time to time! I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. Can you believe my babies are going to be 4???!!!! Where did the time go????!!!! Sniff...sniff...

It's hard to believe the girls are 4 years old already! It seems like just yesterday you were showing me ultrasound pictures!

So glad you got good news. Good news in the year new is always good. Wish the girls a Happy Birthday for us-which day is it?

Lauren and Tara's Birthday is on the 24th of January. It's nice that it falls on a Saturday this year!

Thanks Sharon! I will let them know!
