Jared thought I should be able to post also as I tend to talk with Joanna a bit more. (By way of explanation. My mother, tiring of signing letters "Mother, Jocelyn, Grandma" signs them "Me." Hence I am "Me2" - Mother, Suzanne, Grammy, Grandma, Aunt Suzanne.)
Joanna's health continues to move forward in a positive direction though the snail's pace is frustrating.
The Lovenox issue has finally been resolved. Their insurance company will authorize a 30 day supply at one time. Once that hurdle had been met the next problem was finding a 30 day supply. A Brigham City pharmacy said they would work with them but need sufficient time to get the order in and delivered. So Joseph drove to SLC to pick up their first 30 day supply at the U of U hospital.
The prenatal care has (again finally) been arranged. She will see her regular OB as normally scheduled. They have a perinatalogist (high risk pregnancy obstetrician) at the U of U who is approved by their insurance and has agreed to see Joanna. He is doing research on thrombosis in pregnancy. Their first appointment is May 9th. As I understand it, he will then tell Joanna how often he wants to see her.
Her vision is still in the recovering phase. Her level of color vision makes it hard to sort laundry. She needs to ask Alex what color it is - which is good for Alex as sorting is a needed pre-school ability. Her field of vision still has a lot of missing areas. Her 3d vision is lacking unless she knows its shape and then her brain makes it 3d. Her pupils are reactive. It is difficult for her to go from a bright room to a dark room - takes longer than normal to adjust.
She did venture to Sacrament Meeting yesterday. It was tiring - but that is to be expected. She apparently didn't run over any little ones - a concern to her since her lower field of vision is essentially missing. Joanna and Joseph recognize that she has been inactive for a long time and as a result has lost some strength/stamina. So they are going to make an effort to get her out of the house for a short walk every day.
Her "morning sickness" is still an issue but it sounds like there are more foods sounding appetizing to her.
She is in the process of applying for a leave of absence from her work at the Primary Children's hospital.
There have been questions as to who is monitoring her clotting time. They are going to ask about that at their next doctor's visit.
Joanna had a prenatal visit with her OB this past week. He asked them to fill him in on what was happening. Apparently so far all seems to be going well.
The next visit is with Dr. Warner, the neuro-ophthalmologist at the Moran Eye Clinic in SLC, on Friday 4/27.
