Lexi has had a series of changes in her health in the last few days. For starters, she has a little cold, which includes a runny nose and cough. We are closely watching her to make certain there is no breathing trouble, and for now, it seems it is just a cold. After the last month, though, we are playing neurotic parents and feeling very justified.Lexi also had a change with her blood clot. We had an ultrasound done of her leg, and her blood clot is gone. We spoke with the hematologist, and the normal course for the blood thinner, Lovenox, is 2 months minimum. So, we will have to continue giving her a shot once a day. We are all looking forward to that day coming, but looks like we are within reach, and we are ecstatic that the blood clot isn't there threatening her life. They are going to be drawing blood (they actually tried to draw the blood today, but after 4 sticks with the needle, and no blood, they gave up, so we return next week) to make certain it was the central line and not some other condition that caused the blood clot. We're assuming it was the stupid central line, but will be glad to be reassured.
