Lynne is feeling better today and mobility is much improved over yesterday. Her EEG was normal. Good chance of going home tomorrow. While a definitive diagnosis is still outstanding, the seizures may have resulted from a combination of edema and a low level of seizure medication. Having witnessed the effects of edema in the past, I believe this to be the most plausible explanation.

Lynne is resting comfortably. She underwent a brain scan this morning with results expected later today. The right side motor deficit is markedly worse today compared to yesterday before the bout of seizures. She is still in good spirits. Your continued prayers are appreciated.

Lynne was transported to the ER this afternoon with stroke-like symptoms but may have been a severe bout of seizures. She is admitted for monitoring. No definitive diagnosis at this time.

Lynne will be on her way home shortly pending the completion of the paperwork. She seems to be feeling well but rests often as expected. She continues to display an inner strength that inspires those caring for her. She is looking forward to her out-patient physical therapy to rebuild her strength.

Today, Lynne is feeling the pain from the surgery. She had physical therapy this morning and now she is worn out. She may get to go home tomorrow. I read all of your comments and cards to Lynne and she really appreciated your thoughts.

Lynne is doing well today and resting. The nurse says the more rest she gets the faster her recovery time. She is walking with assistance albiet slowly. She is moving from ICU today. She is pleased to know you are thinking and praying for her. Feel free to share your thoughts here and I will pass them along to her.

Lynne is doing very well following the surgery and as beautiful as ever (inside and out). She does not appear to have any additional neurological deficiency. She is in ICU so visitation is limited to family at the moment. She is resting well. Thanks to all who have submitted your thoughts and prayed on her behalf.

The surgery is complete, lasting about 3.5 hours. The doctor removed all he felt he could safely remove. The electrical monitoring before and after the dissection appear equivalent indicating minimal or no additional neurological deficient. Lynne will be in recovery for about two hours then moved to ICU. Your continued prayers are appreciated.

Lynne’s brain surgery  is scheduled for 9 Sep 2009. Tomorrow, she is scheduled for a functional MRI to map neurological responses to motor functions. This helps the surgeon know what to avoid during the brain surgery to minimize neurological damage.

As always, Lynne and I appreciate your prayers.
