The results are in!!

The DVT I have is not genetic!!! This means I only have to be on blood thinners for 6 months! We are so excited! I have an appointment with the Hematologist on Monday b/c I had an elevated Lupus (sp) hormone which typically is elevated anyways in pregnant or recently pregnant women. My doctor wasn't concerned but he wanted to get a specialist opinion on the raised level and if he will recommend me to be on the blood thinners a little longer than 6 months. So we will see on Monday what the specialist have to say. My swelling is still there but not nearly as severe as before and the pain in my leg is significantly less. Going through this makes me so thankful for my family and it grounds me and reminds me to keep my faith in God and to trust in Him. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers! The power of prayer is a wondrous thing! God Bless!
