Update on Briana

08/17/10 p.m.


Well, Bri is quite the “social butterfly” as Nate would say, meeting all kinds of new people. The neurologist performed scans and evaluation of the carotid arteries in her neck. They were clear.

Tomorrow she’ll let the hematologist (vampire type-person) draw numerous vials of blood. After that it’s off to an EKG to check circulation in her heart.

Next week she’ll begin speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. She’ll return to the neurologist next Wed., Aug. 25

Thus far the cause of the stroke is unknown. As the oncologist and Karen McCoy (our RN friend who worked in cancer wards for years) both said, Bri’s system is so full of toxins from chemotherapy, anything could have caused a reaction, precipitating the stroke. Nevertheless, they absolutely assert her condition is fully reversible with time and therapy.

Tonight, Bri’s already begun exercising her left arm – lifting the remote control over her head, and her left leg – lifting it up and over the footstool.

The miracle continues! She will have a full restoration of health.
