Just got a call from Mom..

Kerrie is having a very emotional day and, for the first time, has verbally expressed that she understands some of the things that have happened to her. We were sure she was aware of it, and would get upset.. say she was in pain.. and call for more dilauded if it was brought up.. but she’s never really said anything.

I don’t know if Kerrie has just realized this today, since it has been almost two months now, but today she told Mom she couldn’t see out of her left eye and that it wouldn’t open. She’s been upset today.. so we don’t know if it is just now hitting her or if she is just now letting all the feelings out. She’s also complaining about the pain in the left side of her face being back, so this has me a little worried…

They are doing an Echo-Cardiogram right now and she will have another MRI later today. I asked Mom if this was being done because they had said they were going to do one for a while or were they doing it because they thought there was a problem.. She told me they were doing them because they were routine and may also be so they can evaluate her for the possibility of being moved to a rehab facility.

Dad’s there now, Mom will be back later and I will be heading in this afternoon. With all her visitors, and testing, she’s going to have a busy day.. I just hope I can see her smile when I get there

And I hope she won’t cry when I have to leave tomorrow morning. Last week she got so upset when I tried to leave that I stayed an extra day.. that won’t be an option this time.

I’ll put an update on as soon as we have some results from the tests.. hopefully tonight!
