and very thoughtful - to our needs - we can't say thank you enough, nor can we tell you how much it has meant - but as I write this - I want you to know - that my eyes are leaking and my heart is full of love and gratitude to you for being you and doing this for us. Today, Rick went for his last PET-Scan - we will not know the results for another week or so - but we are hoping that the blood clots are gone and that he will either get that filter taken out or they will know that they need to leave it in and he will continue with the medicine for what they call thinning his blood - he has a new medicine for his blood pressure - that appears to be working - at least today - his BP was down much more than in the most recent past. He ate his full dinner and wanted a bowl of sugar-less ice cream - which is more than usual. He also had Occupational Theapy today and I learned a new way to wrap his wrist and hand to help with the swelling, too. I am hopeful that he will also be able to go to Physical Therapy and he can get back to doing his home exercises without worry of his BP going up - as most times it helps it to go down. I have been praying and asking God what he would want us to do and to help us get to the place to do it - as we know - that we will never be doing the things that we have done in the past - the same again. I feel good about how things are going - we are getting by - one day at a time and for that I will be always grateful - I have my husband and we are both struggling with some health issues - but we are here and we have now. My God Bless us all.
