hi Daughter in VA,
i'm a bit late reading your post, hope things have worked out for your mother.
i was on Coumadin for a blood clot in my leg. when i went for hip replacement surgery, i went off it for a bit. i had Lovanox for a couple of short periods of time.
is your mother back on Coumadin, or was there a need for her to stay on Lovanox?
cu,
