Drum Roll Please...

We finally have the PET Scan scheduled! Mom will be going in this Monday, April 28 at Noon. The scan should take about 1 1/2 hours total. Not sure how quickly we will know the results, but will let you know when I know! Please pray for a specific diagnosis, sounds kooky, but this is the last "hurdle" and a specific diagnosis would be fabulous. We would at least know what and how to move ahead in regards to treatment.

Mom has officially taken her last dose of Keppra and I gotta say, she seems much stronger and bit more together. Neurologist said because of moms type of stroke, it could have triggered the seizures temporarily, so now that she is off the Keppra, the Dilantine level has been lowered and hopefully finished within the next few months.

Mom is walking with her walker much better and more frequently! Now she will tell you because I (Sandy, aka, Team Harrass) and Dawne (aka Team Nasty), moms nicknames of course, are "making" her use her walker as much as possible. That's a true statement, but if she's not walking, she's not leaving that place! So we both say "bring it on" if it's gonna help mom come home! Speaking of home, Dawne and I have been checking out assisted living facilities, man there are some nice, and expensive places out there! Keep ya posted on that as soon as we figure out what path we need to take.

Joshua stopped by on his day off to hang out with Gram this afternoon. I got there after work and Joshua and I "broke" mom out and grabbed a bite to eat. Here is a picture of the two of them before we "sped" off in the car, just kidding!

Ciao
