Well, as I expected, Charlie's INR has shot up to 3.3. It always rockets a bit when he's poorly. I have to reduce his warfarin dose tonight and retest him in the morning. He and Pete seem a bit better today - not 100% but on the mend. Hopefully the vomit has left the building...
Welcome to Charlie's News! Charlie was born on November 5, 2003, minus the left side of his heart - a complex congenital heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He had two open-heart surgeries in his first five months, and had his third stage Fontan completion in March 2010, aged six-and-a-half.
Charlie's heart is special - but not as special as he is!
