Things are a bit better today. The good news is that she is off TPM (intravenous feeding) and on PEG feeding directly to the stomach. The CAT scan took place last evening and gave her a pass for tube feeding. Every nutritionist feels that this will assist Sabina's recovery. Other news is that she has had 2 BMs so far which is also good news.
She is on sedation because they are waiting to do her MRI. Last night they had to abort the
MRI because her heart rate rose too much, far too stimulated.
A nice array of visitors, though I was a bit perturbed when someone visited her who was a nurse, but introduced directly though Matt's mother. We are not touching her now because it tends to raise her BP and heart rate. Nice evening with friends in the 11th floor waiting room. Saw lots of Ron's wonderful pictures of Sabina in Italy and Germany.
I am on tear to get some neurology research applied to Sabina's case. Louise and one of the
doctors here are taking this on through Columbia Pres.
Work is proceeding for me quite slowly, but am starting to get things done. I am planning to
return to the bay area on 18 to the 21st for business, then back to NY.
