Update September 9th

I'm tired. I'm Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" tired, but I'm happy as I can be. I spent the day with my wife, hugging her, kissing her, and talking with her. She still has a decent slur in her words, but there is time for that to go away. I had to help her stretch out her legs and her arms, but... Sign in to see full entry.

A Better Update

Once again, I am very tired, but very happy. I've spent most of the day in Marquette with Lisa. They are keeping her 'calmed down,' but we developed a method to communicate. Once again, I am well aware that we have a long path to walk, but I will do what has to be done to make this happen. I may be... Sign in to see full entry.

Re: Sassy and Another Update

I'm making this a separate post because I just got another call. Lisa has arrived back in the hospital in the UP. The neuro nurse that I have gotten to know and trust tells me that Lisa appears to be much improved since last she saw her. They asked me to wait to come visit again until tomorrow. The...

Update - Tuesday 2:00 PM EST

I had started out to go back to Minnesota today, but as I hit the town of Munising, I got a voicemail popped up as soon as I hit an area with cell service, something that is not easy to find some days. I pulled in to get fuel, and listened. Lisa has been set to transfer back to Marquette today.... Sign in to see full entry.

As I make ready to visit my wife, I can across this post I made on Twitter. I still believe the words. Shower the people you love with love. This is Lisa's favorite version of that song. In this world, you have stay hopeful. Without hope, you can't survive. The hard thing is almost always the right... Sign in to see full entry.

Five PM Monday Update

I was far stretched beyond my physical limits by the time I got home last night. I think I was in bed and asleep by 9:30 PM, and I didn't wake up until 11 AM. Yep, I was tired. I wanted to call the hospital about a dozen times, but I knew that the unit had a dozen different tests it wanted to do, so... Sign in to see full entry.

I have some good news for the first time in a week. Lisa has begun to stir on her own, without prompting. Her pupils are equal and reactive to light, meaning that the brain is not permanently damaged. It's late and I am weary. More in the morning. V Sign in to see full entry.

Update 9.4

I don't know where this roller-coaster is taking us, but for the first time in several days, Lisa squeezed my hand. I've been at this point before and then she lost ground, but this was a tight squeeze, and I firmly believe that it was a purposeful grip. I don't know what to do, but I am keeping...

Just so you know, Lisa is at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota in ICU after another surgery has removed a clot. I don't know what to think anymore. I've been on an emotional roller-coaster of monumental proportions, and I am in shock. I can't get there right now, but in my heart, I am there. Sign in to see full entry.

I am at the hospital, and there is still nothing that has changed. Lisa will be transfered to a different hospital shortly to undergo a more invasive surgery. I am hurting in my heart and my soul. I can not lose this girl, this woman, who brought back laughter to my life when I thought it would... Sign in to see full entry.
