Hopeful to come home

Okay. As of Thursday afternoon Robert is doing pretty good. He is sitting outside with Kim right now. The cat scan showed swelling of the brain so they did a higher dosage of the steroids, and it is working. They are hoping he will be discharged tomorrow and to catch the last flight out of Houston tomorrow night! Pray for Robert’s discharge and for continued strength for the air flight home.

 

Changes in Houston

Looks like they have some changes in Houston. Robert was up most of the night with a headache. He was nauseous this morning and vomiting some. He is having a Cat Scan done this afternoon to see what may be going on. We will update after the results to let you know. So the Wednesday discharge is now put on hold. Kim wants me to let you know she is having to get certified in administering antibiotics through the IV so wish her luck! We will keep you posted.

Update from Houston

THIS IS WHAT KIM SAID THIS EVENING. SHE THOUGHT AT FIRST HE WOULD HAVE TO BE THERE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. NOW SHE SAID THEY MAY GET TO COME HOME TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. HE IS STILL IN ICU BUT THEY ARE WAITING FOR A ROOM TO OPEN UP TO MOVE HIM TO A REGULAR ROOM. HE IS DOING PRETTY GOOD. TO GET ON THE COMPUTER AND TYPE A BLOG IS JUST TOO HARD RIGHT NOW SHE SAID. HIS SEIZURES HAVE TAPERED WAY DOWN BUT THEY ARE STILL HAPPENING SOME. OVERALL, THE NEUROSURGEON IS SURPRISED AT HOW WELL HE IS DOING. THAT IS ALL I KNOW RIGHT NOW. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED……
