Lindsey's blood thinning level (INR) is still low, so they are increasing her cuminin and continuing the lovenox shots every 12 hours. She is definitely getting tired of that.
They switched out Lindsey's Berlin Pump, which is the blue and white pump you see us pushing around. Her VAD still looks great. She hasn't had a clot since August. But her Berlin Pump was showing the miles. It had scratches and stickers all over it, and it had a squeaky wheel on one side. It sounded like one of those Safeway shopping cart with a bad wheel. Hopefully this new shiny machine won't alarm tonight.
We received a link to a cute youtube video the hospital did for the trick-or-treat trail.
In the video is Amanda, Lindsey's friend who comes by our room to visit. She received a heart and liver transplant back in June, and is having some complications.

Stacy had her heart appointment at 12:30 today. As we knew, she checked out just fine. No heart issues. They talked quite a bit about the genetic testing, which this Dr has been involved in. There is still no definite 'smoking gun'. But basically they want to test both Sierra and Lindsey for the possible flaggers found with Lindsey.
It's always an interesting day going back and forth between Sierra's room on the 1st floor, and Lindsey's room on the 3rd floor. It's all good, they are both doing well.
Wish it could have worked out to have a babysitter tonight. I sure miss my wife sometimes especially on Friday nights. But Lindsey's spirits are so good right now, we don't want to jinks it by leaving her alone to long.

Wish we had a taxi plane option that could come and go at our request, then we could come have Lindsey slumber parties anytime and then you could fight Gage over your spot in your wife's bed!! And a fight it would be!! Will be praying for Sierra as she rests from IVG treatments (without any headache side effects). A brand new pump...they should let Lindsey change it up by making color options an option, a whole new twist! Thinking and praying for each of you knowing and believing that each day is one day closer. Thank you for continuing to update your blog and letting us be a part of this miraculous journey. Loves, hugs, and many prayers xoxoxoxo
I hate that I couldn't have been the babysitter! Why don't you guys stay until March and then when I come back, we'll make sure I babysit every night, in exchange for Lindsey putting Jayce to sleep every day for a nap... ;) I posted those pics of them on my blog...they make me smile every time!
