It's been a little crazy around the Bielke household since Friday.
Last Friday afternoon, Scott found out he has a blood clot in his leg. Needless to say, this was not the news we were hoping to hear. Scott had been battling a cramp in his leg since Monday night and decided to go in on Friday. Thankfully the doctor sent him in for an ultrasound just to be sure. So now he's on warafin (generic for coumadin) and a kick-starter called lovenox because warafin takes a while to get worked up in the system. As of today his blood was at a 1.4. They want him to get to 2. Normal is 1. This is basically the density of your blood. The lovenox is a self-injected shot that he has to do twice a day until his levels reach a 2. Then he won't have to do the shots anymore, but just take the warafin. Sounds like he'll be on that for 6 months. He'll be setting up an appointment with a hematologist soon, so maybe we'll find out why this blood clot appeared.
Monday night, in the wee hours of the morning, my knee slipped out of joint. I felt it happen, but thought it wasn't terrible. Well, by the time I was up and walking on it at work, my knee was swelling and painful. I was fortunate enough to get into my chiropractor that morning and she fixed the joint. Now I'm taped up and it is definitely better. The icing last night helped too.
Will ended up with hives yesterday. Not sure what from. Will hasn't been sleeping good either. He was constipated over the weekend. Fortunately he filled his diaper yesterday at Randi's. We were both so happy he had a big poop! I wonder what kids would think if they knew how much adults talk about their kids bodily functions.
I do plan to end this on a good note...Owen is only wearing pull-ups at night now. As of Friday last week, he's been wearing underwear and doing great! Two nights he's even woken us up to potty and he's been dry the next morning. Looks like we're headed to Chuck E. Cheese.

Chuck E Cheese? I didn't know that was the preferred Owen bribery tool?
