Another Update!

WOW!!! Thanks for all of the wonderful POWERFUL coments and prayers. I was able to read them to Patty last night...she was overwhelmed with all of the love!!

She is actually in NCCU...which is Neuro Critical Care Unit. She will be there most of the day today and depending on how she is doing...they will most likely move her to a private room that isn't as strict as the NCCU.

She was doing pretty good yesterday evening, but she was in some pain. The nurse gave her some pain meds and it seemed to be helping. They took her to get an MRI last night around 11:00ish...(I know...Hospital time!!!!) They were going to check on her every hour so she wasn't going to get alot of sleep anyway! I got to meet the Surgeon...of course he didn't say much but he did stop by and check on her. He said that her recovery time will be about 6 weeks, of course Patty doesn't think it will be that long. They will start chemo in about 2 weeks. Nothing was said about radiation...so more on that later.

She wouldn't let me take her picture??? So here goes...they didn't shave her head...she has a patch above her left ear, that is about it. They wouldn't let her lay down totally to help prevent swelling...so she has to set up and sleep (When she gets enough time between all of the nurses ) The nurses are GREAT!!! Very helpful and very careing. One of them had checked out and was going home and dropped by to tell Patty good night!! COOL

The prayers are awesome!! The strength they are giving Omie and Opie and Kenneth and the girls is fantastic!! Keep it up Prayer Warriors...the battle is still being fought!!

  1. Sounds like she is coming along fine. I hope she realizes that it was her brain they operated on - not her little pinky. It may take a little while to recover. Take it easy and listen to what the Docs are saying.
    All of us up on the mountain are praying for you all. Tell Patty it might hit 80 here today!
    Love yall
