I'm still praying for you both Kathy, but things certainly seem to be on the up, thank goodness
My father had a stroke about 4 years ago, he too was and is on blood thinners (warfarin).....but may I just say he has made a complete, total recovery - you would never know that this happened to him, and that was within days of it happening.
I truly wish you and your mother (and your sister and the rest of the family!) good thoughts and a big hug!
