Return visit today for Larry.   Last visit was 2 weeks ago.   I would say today's visit had nothing but good news.....   All labs were good, chest xray was good, echocardiogram was good... no leakage around or in the heart.  no swelling or edema in legs or jugular......  Dr. Ransom said he is doing excellent.......

His blood pressure was a little high, but that is something they are still not sure what the HeartMate 3's are supposed to be.  He still has some seepage from his driveline, so will continue on with daily dressing changes....  next step will be 3 day dressing.

Next doctor visit is ONE MONTH.........   Dr Hutchins heard us talking so came in to visit as well....    Dr Ransom also said Larry can do as much as he feels like doing....    but to expect to be sore....  muscles are in rest mode.... Tori said she still doesnt think that using the pressure washer is a good idea....

We will still be up at clinic there once a week for blood INR tests..... until we get his INR meter...  last week Larry asked me what INR meant...... i told him I Not Remember...   laughingly we told Trina and Kim....  as we were leaving today, Trina said I will see you next week for your I Not Remember test.......  

We not only get great medicine, we get friendship.....  awesome program at Baptist Health.... and the only place in Arkansas for these procedures.....  I am amazed each time we go....  on June 1, they are having a Reunion for the patients and caregivers...   a party.....  a dinner....   love it....

Missed Nurses Week last week, so today I took about a gallon of chocolate candies......  not homemade.....

Then lunch.....  la madeleine cafe.....   delicious turkey, apple, and brie sandwich for me..... yummy
