A critical day missed

Today, I am in Pennsylvania. I had to miss my wife's first official doctor's visit. She is around 7 weeks now. The sonogram results say that she is closer to 6 weeks. They gave her a prescription for a blood thinner to be injected daily. The doctor says that he can not say for sure whether it will help. It seems there is a great deal of controversy on blood thinners to treat this. She tells me that she is afraid to poke herself with the needle.... I feel awful that I had to miss today. I can't wait to see the sonogram pictures....
