Sofia is doing great and she's back to feeling like herself after her cath. She has been on coumadin for 11 days now and INR has been tested twice. After the first time, she wasn't at a therapeutic level yet, and she was just checked yesterday for the second time and the results weren't back yet. She went back to gymnastics yesterday, which she is allowed to continue. She follows up with Dr. Golden, who did her cath, on Tuesday and she also has an appointment with the gastroenterologist. I think forgot to mention in August that she went to see her for the first time because it was discovered back in June when she was in the hospital that she has gallstones. Dr. Hupertz, the gastroenterologist, will follow her. She's not having symptoms so we will just hope that she continues to not be bothered by them. However, if they do cause a problem they will take out her gallbladder. Hoping it doesn't come to that! Her liver was also enlarged, so they are going to keep an eye on it. Dr. Hupertz's opinion is that if there was some liver congestion after the surgery it could take a few months for it to return to normal. She will have an ultrasound on Tuesday.
Only 3 more weeks until our trip. Have a lot to do before then!
