Voting for Husband, 2 years on Friday :)

What great news for your almost 2nd year valve birthday :) Had you not posted this, I may have missed Nathan's 2nd valve birthday tomorrow :eek: I would have loved to have been in on an echo with a student! Very exciting! As it is, I am a nurse and have not gone in on any of Nathan's echos...

Nathan (and I remember Randy too!) did a reverse order valve choice. At 34 years old, he chose mechanical and hoped for the best. Next week it will be his 2nd valve birthday--- I never would have dreamed he would be admiring his 12 cords of firedwood cut with chainsaw and woodsplitter. Would...

Thanks for the update Seth. Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing!

Innoviant, "the company" really made a mess of things; And this is just the coumadin. They screwed up his cholesterol meds and Toprol as well! We had a new RX for Warfarin 2.5 mg, and I ordered 90 day of the 2.5mg and re-ordred the usual 5.0mg (5mg 7 days per week with 2.5 one day per week)...

Okay, I am glad you had not heard of Zydus yet either Ross. I have been a nurse since 1990 and had not yet heard of Zydus.

This happened the exact same way last time, he changes companies, we test....and he is lower....we wait a week, and he is still the exact same, so he adjusts and he is fine, until they send the next untried brand. How many are manufacturers of Warfarin are there out there?

We order Nathan's Warfarin in 90 day supply from Innoviant, and they have switched Warfarin drug companies twice on us, both times with a noticed INR change. Nathan dropped from a solid 2.8 to a 2 week consistant 2.1 with change from BARR to Zydus Phar. We did wait week to make sure the INR...

Are you doing a cat show in Inver Grove Heights? We showed our first Wedge Head Siamese in Inver Grove Heights about 5 years ago. If you see Fairy Dust Siamese, look at her kitties-our lineage :) I wish I could help you with wild rice soup--I can not think of one place I have ever had any...

Does anyone know when Seth's surgery is? I thought it would be in a couple weeks now, but I may have missed something!

Hello I wanted to let everyone know that Nathan's Dad, "Grandpa Bob" died one week ago today. He was the most amazing person I have ever met. When I first met him in 1987, ( Nathan and I were still dating in high school )I knew he had a heart problem. When I was in nursing school, Bob...

Nathan also will have a couple of beers or wine. We even split a bottle of wine at dinner on our cruise :eek: We were well....quite happy :) But yes yes....not a good plan but at least he had a full tummy before hand :D

Wow! You guys are GREAT! I am printing it all off now :) We did just try some buffalo hamburger-not bad, we used in in burgers. Our market only gets it from time to time. Once upon a time, we ate ALOT of gardenburgers-but I never tried to soy free vareity yet! I do love their fake sausage...

Hey Guys We are starting the crazy school/skating/hockey season next week and I need HELP :o Nathan's cholesterol is finally under good control but we need to get rid of all this hamburger we still eat (although it is "diet" hamburger) but we eat it several times per week in hamburgers...

I came over to play and no one was home! Maybe someone will drop by again later.

Hey Gina Cyper Hugs here too.....Take care there girl!

What wonderful news! I just love hearing when an EF improves :) Every time I hear about it, I just can't seem to stop smiling. Thank you so much for sharing..... :) Ann

Hi My husband's cardio at the Mayo has him in a narrow range; They want him 2.5-3.0, which is very odd to have such a narrow window, but with the Aspirin coverage, they do not feel he needs to be any highter than 3 with a mechanical in the aortic position. We were told at his appt on August...

Hi Seth It sounds like you did get a different doc than Nathan after all! Call Beth Eichorn at Mayo. She runs the valve clinic at the Mayo and she is wonderful!! I believe she works with all the surgeons and she will offer you unbias info on ALL valve types. Ask her about the new group...

Sending prayers your way,
