It appears that Lisa will be coming home about 3PM this afternoon. They want to do some last-minute testing, but as long as nothing goes stupid, she is coming home. I'm not sure who wants her home more, the dogs or me. I will be back with updates after 4 this afternoon EST. This short section below... Sign in to see full entry.

Update. Lisa is in a good mood, making everyone's job easier. She will hit me when she reads that, but I won't mind. So far, all of her tests are coming out good. Here's hoping! V Sign in to see full entry.
Depending on how things go today, Lisa may be discharged tomorrow or Wednesday. They need to ensure that her EEG remains normal and that her bleed time (Pro Time) or clotting times are proper after getting the TPA meds. I will keep you posted.

True confession time. I ate a child's breakfast meal at McDonalds this morning. His mother was extremely upset with me. Sign in to see full entry.
A much better report this afternoon. They extubated (removed the tube from her throat) Lisa this morning, and she seems to be 'with it.'

You will understand why they're keeping her sedated if you have read much of anything the girl has posted. I'm just getting her house-trained, so imagine... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm going to keep this short. About 2:30 EST yesterday, my wife and I were sitting on our sofa, talking about our plans, when she grabbed her head.

We lost power multiple times due to the high winds, but everything seems under control now. We... Sign in to see full entry.

A little humor in the raging storm outside. I stopped drinking Diet Coke, and started drinking brake fluid instead. Don't worry, I can stop anytime I want. Sign in to see full entry.
A quick note. We have about ten inches of new snow since the storm started about two this afternoon. It slowed down for a bit, but it is beginning to pick up steam again. The power has flickered a few times, but so far, we are good. We have the house setup to stay warm and still have hot water to... Sign in to see full entry.
