Well, Karen slept pretty sound last night. Not waking up most of the night.
This morning she had a Sunday Morning Pancake Breakfast, looking for Jet to take them to the back yard and bury them. (She said you all would understand that)
I am sending a picture of her eating to Curtis for him to post. I take the pictures with my phone and hack into the hospital computer to make the posts and check my home email. Not sure they would be too happy with me if they caught me. Oh well.
The security guard who threatened to lock me up Friday night stopped by this morning to check in and make sure we are OK. The entire staff up here at Harborview has been fantastic. The nurses are great giving her what every she wants and making sure I eat and take naps also.
The Neuro team just stopped by and did some quick tests. I asked how it seemed she was progressing and they stated that she is actually ahead of what they normally see as recovery. They think that this is because she is young and otherwise in great shape. this is a good thing and makes me feel better. She still has limited vision on her left side and is not really able to feel anything in her left arm or leg but I tease her with tickles on her feet and put some ice on her arm last night to see if she could feel that. She couldn't feel me touching her feet, (something I think I'll be paying for later), but she did react to the ice on her arm, saying that it caused a feeling like the pins and needles when your arm falls asleep, I loved that.
She is resting now trying to get a little more sleep. This is good because it's the only time she stops talking. I have assured the doctors and nursing staff that this is baseline normal. I feel very good that this is going to pass and she is going to be fine. She has had a great attitude through this entire process. She really is working really hard to keep working on improving her condition and is always positive.
I will post again if more information comes across otherwise I will send updates as I can.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. They help me as much as they do her.
