Tuesday's Mid Day Update

The plan has remained the same since early this morning. All the teams of doctors are in agreement that it is a blood clot in the vessels exiting her brain. They started her on scheduled pain meds so there should be less break through pain and they just started her on Valium to help with the anxiety, muscle tension and allow her to rest better. They're going to start her on a blood thinner in the next little while.

She had a rather rough morning. She was in lots of pain and had some difficulty with nausea after the sedation from the MRIs. The clots are also causing pressure on the area of the brain that causes nausea so she's taking Phenergan (anti-nausea med) to help with that. She's finally sleeping and seems to be much less tense so it's a relief to see her getting some relief from the pain and the anxiety.
