There was a possibility that I would leave the hospital tonight. But now it looks like I'll be in here one more night. I can go home when the new anti-coagulant that I'm taking measures at a theraputic level in my blood. I've been receiving the drug in an I-V and I've been able to maintain a good level for the past few days. But they disconnected me from the I-V this morning and I received a dosage in a shot. When they checked my blood level it was too low. So in the second shot they gave me more Heparin. Hopefully this is the right dosage! If so, I'll continue to give myself three shots a day eight hours apart and return to the hospital to have the blood levels checked every other day. If you had trouble following that, don't worry, I still don't exactly understand either. And it's been explained to me several times.
I got to walk around several times today and it sure was great to be able to move around without Mr. I-V. He really slowed me down! And I'm looking forward to taking a real shower tomorrow morning. Mr. I-V couldn't get wet so neither could I.
I am so humbled when I think of how many people are praying for me. I have confidence that God can use me and it's so exciting to be part of His plan. I love you all and am so thankful for your prayers and support. Love, Julie

Hey Julie, this is Marcia! Apryl sent me the website link to read your blogs. I should try blogging myself sometime, but lately I have been hooked on a yahoo game called jewel quest. I know I must stop, but haven't the will. I wonder if there is a video game patch out there.
Anyway, I will keep you in my prayers and log on often to catch up on your latest adventures. love,
Marcia Dettmann
Looks like you've been hooked up to "Mr. I-V" too long!! I thought that was so funny, and so did Sebastian! We all love you so much and pray that those darn blood cells do what they need to do (remain intact and unclotted)! Love, Bets
Oh Julie .. I am just sitting here with my eyes all teary. I have been and will continue to pray fervently for you and your health. Next time Emily is there, tell her I asked you to have her give you a hug from me. :o)
Love, Connie Rovik
