Keegan does eat what he wants...And we do just adjust. I have found that to be the easiest way of doing things...
He is pretty stable, usually at 3 or so. His cardio wants him to be between 2.5 and 3.5...I know that when his INR is too high, we have him eat more green beans or something to counteract the levels. We have also learned that when he starts to bruise a lot more than usual, that he's probably at that state...We have gotten down to testing him every 3 weeks or so and haven't had any problems...I was actually just a bit curious about the list.
It is very funny. Keegan is one of just a couple of babies a year that have had MV replacement here in Denver. His cardio, though one of the very best in our area, had to learn A LOT in order to deal with Keegan's needs. It has been a learning experience for everyone involved. This is why I like to seek answers from other's as well.
Another question I have for Al (please forgive me if I have your name wrong) But does it matter how the Warfarin is given? For example, we were told that warfarin IS NOT stable whn compounded, so Keegan has been on crushed pills since he was an infant. The nurse I was dealing with swore that after we crushed the pills, we had to give it with the exact same amount of liquid every day for it to be stable...
I have asked other pharm. and I have been told that did not matter. To just give it how he will take it. I have mixed it in chocolate pudding (a spoonful), or a tablespoon of Coke...Anything that he will eat/drink. Now we're trying to teach him to swallow them, but there are times that he will chew them...Does this matter??? TIA!
