I got here about 1:30 or so. Karen was booted out because Lisa got a new roommate. I came when Karen was gone...was called over to the desk to answer some questions about Lisa's medical history from the MRI dept. They are going to do an MRI sometime later today. I am thinking we won't have results until tomorrow because it is getting late and the techs will probably be gone by the time she gets out...we will keep you posted.
I went to find Karen, she was eating in the cafeteria and we sat for a bit...(Karen and) I walked in and saw Lisa laying in bed. She was resting, she had a busy morning seeing so many therapists. She was talking to Karen who asked her to guess who was here, "Karla!" not a question, but a statement. I scooted up to her and talked to her. She answered all my questions and she is still Lisa. I am so thankful she can talk. It is really, really hard though to see that she is not able to move her right side very well and her right side of her face is droopy. That is so hard. On the bright side though...the nurse says that she is doing great! the things she can do are all very encouraging and she is so much better today than yesterday. Yay! I am going back to her in a few minutes, the nurse is going to get her up in the chair for a while so she can eat. She is on a puree' diet right now. She is holding food on her right side.
I will post more when I watch how well she does.
We are feeling your support! Thank you so much.
