I wanted to give you a quick update on Mom. She was moved to the Neuroscience Intermediate Care Unit at Memorial Hermann on Saturday morning.
Yesterday was a downturn from first two days which were remarkably good following the major surgery. She was not as alert or responsive and was running a low grade fever. The ataxia that she has had and the severe double vision also continue. New CT Scans were taken yesterday afternoon and also this morning and they were fine and Mom was a bit better today with normal temp and vitals.
It appears that Mom is experiencing what was expected, that being that Neurosurgery patients go through a period of getting worse before they get better. We know this from what we have been through, but it is still very tough to watch. We also know that this will continue to be a very long process and that we probably won't know for months or longer if the deterioration has been stopped or if Mom can regain any capability.
The Doctors are still thinking she will get moved to the TIRR rehab Hospital sometime this week! Yay!
Thank you again for all the texts and calls checking on Mom, it means so much to us!
