I just found out Bob was exposed to strep throat Sunday night. We need to
pray he won't get it, because with his artificial valve and all, it could
be life-threatening. TIA!

Airborne has herbs in it that thin his blood. We have to be so careful with
just about everything, because Bob is so outside the norm for people on
blood thinner.

Karen - what about things like Airborne? And definitely gargling with
some salt water! At least natural things that shouldn't upset the
natural balance in his body.

Big hugs Bob! How dare you go back home and get sickly germs!

Dr on the radio was talking about that and Emergen-C. He said
the vitamin C is what helps in that stuff. Just go for that.
He mentioned some chinese herb called astrologous (I'm not
sure how to spell it) It allegedly helps build immune system but
is not harmful. Like anyone else with special needs Bob has to
work pretty close with his dr on that kind of thing though.
There sure are a lot of us hoping he is fine : )

You could mean one of two Chinese herbs. Astragalus isn't harmful.
Aristolochia is *extremely* dangerous, and in most places it can't
be legally traded any more.

Thanks Jack, It was Astragalus. I'm not one to jump
on the bandwagon for offbeat stuff (although traditional
chinese herbs are hardly offbeat) I'll have to nose
around and read more about it. The one thing the dr. mentioned
(he was an MD) was that it isn't harmful but with heart patients
you always have to talk to your own dr.

I just found out Bob was exposed to strep throat Sunday night. We need to
pray he won't get it, because with his artificial valve and all, it could
be life-threatening. TIA!

Well, anti-biotics are a big part of the problem. They thin his blood too
much, and that's one thing that caused all that bleeding last year.

BTDT with my mum (she's on Warfarin), *AND* she's violently allergic (as
unto death) to anything penecillin based. So I'm sending up extra
prayers that a scare is all it is. Keep us posted...

Thank you all so much for all the Bob-be-healthy thoughts and prayers. So
far so good! If he doesn't get it by Saturday, I think we are safe,
according to the Mayo website. If you don't hear anything, that means
Christmas went off without a hitch! : )

are out of the woods. And Merry Christmas!
