Jen Joe Joey & Isaiah

tuesday morning

the big ct scans went off relatively well yesterday, pretty much a head-to-toe look, with a focus on the cardio-vascular plumbing. the initial results show that his brain still looks stable. the blood from the "event" of last wednesday is still there, and still may be an issue- since when anything that shouldn't be in the brain is in the brain, it can cause problems. as i've been typing this, he spiked a high fever- so we're revisiting that while we wait for cardiology to give us their full assessment of yesterday's imagery.

we put isaiah on a versed drip, which is a keeping him pretty sedated. when he's awake, he's extremely uncomfortable- which is pretty unnerving for us. in the meantime, the attending physician's father went to brooklyn college, so we've been traveling down memory lane while we figure out what to do.















not a whole lot else is going on- this is plenty. we're missing home and joey.

We are sure it is difficult to see Isaiah uncomfortable and unhappy when there is little you can do to "fix" it for him. The ct scan at least gave you a picture of a certain amount of normalcy. We shall pray that the blood in the brain dissolves soon to clear up at least one problem. Surely the fever is another worry for you and challenge for Isaiah. If anyone can beat it, he can. We love you!! GGV

Jen,
I know we don't know each other very well (yet), but I'm so glad you have shared your blog with our homeschool group. Isaiah made a big impression on both my kids (Sienna 6 1/2 & Nicholas 4 1/2) the few times they have been together. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and if you need anything done here on the Holland end of things, please let me know . We'll look forward to the summer months and start planning some fun park dates for the kids.
((((Hugs))))
