Mom received a spinal tap at midnight last night, her experience with so many spinal taps 30 years ago were very painful. Modern medicince has improved and the most pain was the local that they gave her before the spinal tap. Michele was able to be with her during the test.
We just received the results and everything came back clear! PTL!!
The diagnosis is still not clear but they are treating it as a TIA, which I think is like a mini stroke but does not show up on an MRI. She will need to take an asprin everyday and monitor her blood pressure and cholesteral (sp). They also think that it may have been a complex neurological migrane (sp). She will be given a perscription for migranes to take if she feels one coming on. She had symptoms of both of these, which is why the diagnosis is not clear.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you who have been praying for our family. I can not begin to tell you how comforting it is to know that we can reach out and ask for others to pray on our behalf. We rejoice in knowing that God was with us and heard our prayers.
We are encouraging Mom to stay at Michele's for a couple of days before going back to Estes Park. We assume that the surgery will be postponed to give her time to rest. We will keep you posted.
Love,
Teresa
