Today is Monday, Lisa is still in the Neuro Critical Care Unit, they have strict visiting hours. You can not sleep in her room and the can not be in the room from
4:30 am to 8:30 am
3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
11:00 pm to 12:00 am

We are asked to step out when they need to do special things for Lisa. I talked it over with the sisters last night and saw that she is getting excellent care and decided to not spend the night so we could get some good rest. There is a nurse her her room at all times unless they are getting meds. So I felt comfortable leaving her last night, but felt a little unease since this is the first night we have not been there.

Karla called a 4:30 am and talked to the nurse she said that Lisa was doing better than when she took over at 7:00 pm. She was eating applesauce and they were able to give her meds with that. She was asking for her Dt. Pepsi and talking more.

I walked in at 8:30 I said good morning, I asked her if she knew who I was and she said yes, I asked her who am I she goes Karen. Lisa is more easier to wake up than yesterday and is talking more, the nurse said that her vitals are good and during the night she had a fever but gave her Motrin and that took care of it. Lisa is on a neo drip which they started yesterday when I came in, said that she is needing much less than yesterday. That is for her blood pressure.

They asked me to step out so they could give her a bed bath, that was 10 min. after I was able to get in. Today they are going to give her an MRI, I asked the nurse who will be in there with her she said that she would be, it takes about 1hr to 1 1/2 for that. I was in there when she had one 4-6 months ago. It is very loud and she squeezed my hand the whole time. She did well so I hope she will have no problems today.

Karla said she would be leaving around noon. Then I will go home and pick Dalton up from school it is his 8th B-Day today.
