Milestone! Moved to Step-Down

We just got moved to the Neuro Step-down unit!  They wouldn't do this until all the docs agreed on it, so this means the are not so concerned about any re-occurances of the hemorrhage.  Sue continues to have a cycle of headaches (the normal kind, not migraines) which we are controlling with pain meds.  They are telling us this is normal as the brain continues to heal itself from the injury it has had.  The frequency is getting longer, so as long as that trend continues, we will be encouraged.

I also want to take a moment to address a topic that has come to our note, which is who is getting updated and when.  I have joked with Sue that I need a secretary to keep up with all the correspondance and phone calls that need returning, and I know some have fallen through the cracks.  I want to apologize if you are one of those people - you are the reason I created this blog.  The other side of it is that I can't answer everyones calls and emails and texts and still take care of Sue - I wouldn't get any sleep.  So I would ask that everyone keep in mind that Sue is my primary focus right now, and that she needs assistance with simple things like going to the bathroom (I now have to unplug her from the monitors every time, as well as keeping her steady as she walks).  So please bear with me on this.
