We are happy to say that he is impressed and so proud of her and the progress she has made in less than 3 months. Right now we are weening her off of her daily meds and seeing how she tolerates it. We still have a couple hiccups here and there but it is bound to happen after a big surgery. Gillian does get discouraged when it takes awhile to manage her pain but we have to remind her that she just had major surgery in March. 2 days ago, Gillian woke up with severe cramp in her right calf. It was tender that day but yesterday she was having a hard time walking on it. With it getting worse as the day went on, I was concerned if it was a blood clot. Airing on the cautious side, I decided to take her into my work to scan her. She takes aspirin daily to help her platelet levels so when I found a tiny clot I was surprised. She has inflammation in the walls of the tissue with a tiny clot. We called nationwide and they weren&#8217;t too worried about it so they said stay hydrated and stay on the aspirin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gillian had an appointment with her specialist yesterday.
