Good Day

I got here at 8:20 this morning, I am just now able to get on the internet.
Lisa was not doing well this morning, she was alittle lippy with me, but that is normal. It was hard for her to open her eyes. She had a pint of blood being pumped in to her IV because her levels were down. That is out now. She is stable and is getting stronger.

this is her MRI from last night the dot in the middle, upper left from the curser, is the spot where her stroke occured.

Dr Invergo the resident dr came in to talk to me. She showed me her MRI and let me take a picture of it. It is cool to see the difference in the size of both hemispheres. MRI showed a small little stroke called an ischemic stroke. She has more movement in her R shoulder but not her arm...just yet. She should be in Bloomington in 2 to 3 days.

She was able to kick me, just barely, with her right let and pretty good with her left. She sat up in bed, on the side for about 5 minutes and tried to hold her head up straight, it was hard but she did it. She is spastic in her neck from not being able to move it. She hopes that she will be OK. I assured her that she will be, but she needed to eat and stay strong and have the right attitude. She answered me with "I hope so..." I told her I wasn't going to let her give up, and she said "Ok"


More later, Dad is here and I will need to go...Lisa will be moved to the main floor when a bed is open for tonight...I hope she gets rest, as this will be the first night that we will not be here to spend the night with her, b/c she is in ICU right now.
