We got the call this afternoon from Cook's about Aspynne's EEG. Everything was once again perfectly normal, with no signs of seizure activity! YAY! We will continue on the path we are on with the anti-seizure meds, but there are no signs for any other needed action at this time. It's been almost 3 weeks since the last seizure, and she is still doing great on her meds. They don't seem to be effecting her at all other than maybe being a little more tired.
As for Mom, she will be going home tomorrow morning. While she IS doing a little better than she was 2 or 3 days ago, she is still not doing well. She is starting to have some circulation issues where blood flow is not doing well on one side of her body. This is probably a combination of the MS progressing and being confined to a hospital bed in one position without ever getting upright. She is still not eating well, but seems to be drinking a bit more, and is definitely more alert and conversing with us (though it's very hard to hear or understand because of how weak her voice is). I still don't think that she has much time left with us here on this Earth. We will see how she does once she gets back in the comfort of her own home, but it really seems that her body is just no longer willing to cooperate. Please keep my Mom and especially my Dad in your prayers as tomorrow will be a major transition for them. I know that my Dad is worried about not being able to take care of her well enough by himself at home, but he knows that it is what she wants, so he will do his best (which is always more than I could ever ask of him).
I have a sore throat and don't really feel great myself, my back problems are coming back, so we're going to have to deal with that, and on top of ALL THIS....I have a couple other issues that are weighing on me. So...as always, I'm a big pile of need. Please keep me and my sanity (not that I had a lot to begin with) in your thoughts and prayers, as well.
