Loving Anne

Today brought a bit of good news. The results of the CT scan they did overnight were better than the doctor expected. I’ll take whatever small piece of good news I can get at this point!

The pressure in Anne’s brain has been consistently good since the skull surgery…to the point that they think they can remove the ICP monitor. That might happen tomorrow. Anne’s eyes are responding well to light tests and her limbs are responding to reflex tests. They have discontinued sedatives though there is still quite a bit in her system. It’s possible that she may wake up in the next day or two. It’s hard to predict timing on anything or what “waking up” will look like.

Overall, a better day than yesterday. The doctors, nurses, and staff at Harborview have been fantastic. I started this blog just this morning over a cup of coffee. Thanks to all who have read, subscribed, or commented. Please feel free to share it with anyone you think should know. Anne has a vast circle of friends and coworkers and I still haven’t been able to get to all of them. As much as I would have liked to personally contact everyone…I’m dealing with a lot right now.

Kate is doing okay and we are holding it together, making lots of lists, hugging a lot. Thank you all.
