Lovenox shots in the stomach

As of last night I have been giving Jane her Lovenox shots in tummy.  First time I did something like that, it went smoother than I thought.  Jane takes Lovenox as a blood thinner.  She has to take this kind because it stays in your system for just 24 hours. This comes in handy if Jane needs any sort of surgical procedure. The downside is that it is shot, and it is quiet painful. She can't take an oral blood thinner as it takes 7-10 days to get our of your system.

Some of you have asked why she is also taking insulin shots. Jane is not a diabetic but all the rejection medications she is taking gets her sugar out of wack. Once her medication get reduced over the next few month she should not need insulin anymore.

Just 2 more days to go before we are able to go home.  It has been exciting preparing and planning. Thank you for your prayers!
