Facebook post.... Feb 14, 2010


HI Everyone,


Happy Valentine's Day :)

Mom's Got HEART and SPIRIT !!! It's been 11 days today
that she has been in the hospital...... this time.

I was visiting with Mom yesterday when her neuro came to see her.
The doctor had ordered a CAT scan because of Mom saying her
head hurt her.

When Mom fell back in January she was treated by a neurosurgeon...
we'll call him Dr A. Dr A. is the doctor that Mom had been following up
with from her discharge on 1-19.
Dr A. did the first brain surgery on 2-4-10

Dr B. is the neuro who did her surgery on 2-11-10. It was Dr B. who
told BethAnn and myself following Mom's surgery that IF a 3rd surgery
was needed they would put in a permanent drain from her brain.

While visiting with Mom today, Dr A. came to see her. He said that
her CAT scan looked real good.
I asked the doctor about the possibility of putting in a permanent
drain from her brain. He was ADAMANT that he would NOT put the drain
inside of Mom. His experience is that the tubes can easily become
clogged.

He told me today that tomorrow they would remove the temporary
brain drain tube. I asked him if he had any idea how long Mom would
be in the hospital following that. I asked not trying to rush her out,
but to give her some idea OR something to look forward to.

HE WOULD NOT COMMIT AT ALL. !!!!!!!! That is just fine. He is
playing it safe and seeing how things go.

If anyone would like to send Mom a card, please respond to this
message in the comment area and I will send you her
address in a private FB message. :)

XO XO
