I hope you guys don't mind the post, it seems like a up and down ride lately and at time seems awkward to update. I really don't know what to do other then keep praying, maybe I will send a steak dinner or something, Hospital food after awhile in it self is reason to get better and leave.
Mom's Update today
Bob did a great job on his 1st journal entry, didn't he? This is what has happened today: Matt had a 'spinal fluid pressure check'. His pressure was very high, indicating too much fluid in his central nervous system. Could be an infection or an internal leak. Fluid was drained today and the surgeons will re-check the pressure in the morning. Today, Matt has had a Cat Scan, MRI & MRV. Right now he is being prepared for an ECG for overnight observation for internal seizures, which are treatable by medication. Because of the fluid pressure build up - Matt has been very lethargic..which is a concern. Thank you for all of the messages and texts. The love, prayers and support you all have shown and continue to show keeps us positive and we feel the love, we need the love. Looks like Matt will be here longer than expected. Bob and I have a system down and we take turns spending the night. I went to the store tonight to get some stuff to make sandwiches, and dinners-because we are done with hospital food! Also, thank you for your concerns for Emileigh. She is in Iowa with Heather and the Lemke's - thank God for our dear friends. Thank you very much to Aunt Darcy - she drove Emileigh to Iowa for us! Yesterday, Nathan, Teresa & Jason came to visit us from Springfield, MO. They brought us lunch, visited a while and got to see Matt briefly. Lunch was awesome and the visit was needed, appreciated and uplifting. We keep telling Matt that Nathan was here to see him. I gave Nathan the OK when Matt get's better - they can create anything they want and make all of the messes they want together with all of the duct tape, card board, pvc pipe they want - I told Nathan, they could even use my china! Looking forward to that day! Peace - Light & Love, Shari & Bob
