A Call for Happy Thoughts

Saturday night my sister had another spell. She has had them a couple times before, but they have been unable to determine if they were cardiac in nature (she has a heart problem) or brain related. Her husband took her into the hospital that night around 10 pm. She finally got admitted about Sunday at noon.

They were going to do another ct scan, and then the plan was that she would come home this morning. Well the latter didn't happen, and she has to stay another day at least. I hear that she tomorrow she's getting brain stuff done: MRI ,MRA, some kind of brain-seizure test, and a meeting with a neurologist.

My mom contacted me this afternoon to tell me that she had another minor episode in which she was brushing her teeth and she got lightheaded and her feet went numb. Apparently at that time her BP showed 96 over sixtysomething (not sure on the exacts here).They did a ct scan of her brain and did more blood work. We haven't got results yet.

If you can, please take a little time to think some happy thoughts for her. My mom is taking off a few days to take care of my sister's 6 month old baby since this seems like it might not be resolved quickly. I hope to get down there later this week too.
