Topic: (Update on my Mother!)

[The E-Man]

Herd fans, I'm asking you to please say a prayer for my Mother who had to have emergency brain surgery at 2:00 a.m. this morning. My Mother had bleeding in her brain from to much coumadin that was in her system. She is now in ICU, critical but stable. The doctor told me, I made the right decision to call the ambulance when I did and if I waited she wouldn't be here today. I have a very heavy heart today and need your prayers! Thank you!

+1 to all these postsE-Man. I have had 5 brain surgeries because of bleeding. I pretty much know what your mother is facing. Prayers will pull you through. It did for me!

I'm there for you E-Man. I feel that we are brothers.
Coumadin is scary stuff. My wife is on it for life, it appears. I don't always listen to the docs on this; I have adjusted her dose at times based on my knowledge/analysis--not the Docs.
Doc doesn't like this but it seems to work for us. Docs sometimes over-prescribe.
Keep the INR between 2 and 3.
God is great and will hear all the prayers going up for your mother. We are in the same boat.

Hope she recovers E.

A word of advice based on first person experience. Find a physician, or better yet group practice, that specializes in geriatric medicine.  In our situation, my mother’s IRC got way out of whack while she was recovering from a broken back. I was in frequent contact with her doctor’s office who didn’t call for any extra blood tests or change her coumadin dose. When things got bad I took her to the WVU emergency room at apparently a little earlier in the process then you were able to do with your Mom. Her INR was 24. They hung three units of vitamin K and a unit of plasma. Next morning, she had made remarkable recovery.

After her recovery, I resolved to find a geriatric specialist. Once I had her enrolled with the WVU geriatric program we didn’t have any more coumadin problems, though she wasn’t really happy with the increased trips to hospitals for blood draw’s
