Good News!New update and fingers and toes crossed that she continues to feel better and gets to a room where we can reach out to her.
There's a new plan to release Sharon from the CCU today to a regular room. That was the plan ALL day yesterday, and it never happened. I'm hopeful that it will today.
The surgeon returned and removed her head bandages today, revealing "the world's most expensive bad haircut." She looks like a cross between Frankenstein's monster and a zombie. Especially when they do the neuro test and make her hold her hands out straight in front of her for several seconds. No pics of her new 'do, folks. That one's for her to decide whether she wants it on FB.
She's been sitting up in a chair since breakfast, and now she's doing a great job at eating lunch. In other words, it's a much better day than yesterday was.
Hi everyone, first you are all quite welcome for this thread, I'm 100% certain that any one of us that had the information would have shared and our dear Sharon would be on top of it in a heartbeat and she would be making this thread for any one of us.
Sharon hasn't been moved to another room yet, she is still in CCU. Since her sister gave me permission to post anything she posts I will just copy and paste the two updates so I don't miss anything or mess anything up. Keep the prayers and positive energy flowing all!
Update 1: 20hours ago
And, in a happier-sounding update, there's this:
Sharon is getting a little bit better every day. She was finally able to eat yesterday and kept everything down. Today, she walked up and down the hallway with a walker. Each activity wears her out for quite awhile, but it's all progress. She'll get moved to a regular room today.
Update2: 1 hour ago
Well, we didn't make it out of the CCU yesterday after all. Sharon's head pain has remained pretty high. She was at a 10 last night just before they were ready to move her, and she was nauseated and had stopped eating. They decided to find out what was going on. A CAT scan showed that her brain is swelling, which explains the pain and nausea.
So, we're staying in the CCU as they work at getting the swelling down. She's still in a lot of pain, feeling nauseated, not eating, and generally not having much fun.
She's currently got three IV lines in, and they've been through several that have shut down. They need to have some new ones, but already, the pickings are slim. The nurse is talking about the possibility of putting in a PICC line. That may be the best thing, given how fast her lower arm and hand veins are shutting down.
Prayers that she'll start feeling much better soon, please.
