So far, so good. A nosebleed, blood in the urine, but both have subsided and are expected. If that's the worst of it, then all is well. They've stopped the Heparin for now until the TPA is a bit more out of her system. I left Marie for home in good hands after a nurse change (due to not so good hands). Blood pressure is much better, urine output is much improved, which means the kidney problems were more related to the BP. I'm ready for bed myself.

Many heroes today -- Marie's intensivist, who literally stood at her bedside for the entire two hours of the clot blast ready to move on a dime if something went south, her amazing nurse Sue, Rick and Cathy Whitaker and the ministry staff at HAFBC, who were there checking in, and all of you praying us through the latest saga. Thanks. I don't know yet what the next days will bring, and we're not through the woods yet, but we seem to be on the right path. Your prayers and thoughts have made the difference.
