up and down

let me say first that i am sorry that i cannot post every day. i wish i could. this week has been up and down. after spending the night in the hospital for the lung blood clots and talking to the emory people about it, one thing we learned was that brain surgery has a higher chance for developing blood clots. they also said that if karen had bad headaches that would not go away with the use of Tylenol to let them know it may be a clot in the brain. they also told us and i forgot somehow that because she was off her steroid for swelling that if these headaches came to get her back on that. karen kind of panicked when she started having headaches all day and because i forgot about the steroid we all were not sure what might happen and there looked like a chance that we were going back into the emergency room and hospital for a brain blood clot. the good news is after talking to the emery people they reminded us of the steroid and as soon as karen got back on it she has felt alot better and has become her chipper self again.

as i sit here today she is complaining that she is getting more feeling in her foot which then makes her want foot messages all day to help it feel better. she doesn't understand why we all wont stop and message her feet 24/7. hopefully she will feel this good all weekend and the first treatment will go great.
