Out of NCCU!
Mom was moved yesterday to a regular hospital room. Yay! The ventilator has left her voice extremely raspy, but she's breathing on her own and getting better day by day. But this was brain surgery. And no doctor ever said anything about "cognitive deficits." Until today. I noticed yesterday that she has trouble talking, writing, hearing, seeing. I figured it was all surgery related and temporary. Now, I'm not going to panic before panic is called for, but "cognitive deficits" is not a phrase one really wants to experience with regard to anyone you love who just had brain surgery. Brother and I are headed up later today, and if someone doesn't have some answers that are more definite than "we're just not sure" or "we have to wait and see" then there will be others with cognitive deficits once I'm done.

Oh Renee, this sounds like good news that your mom is moved out! I know it's so frustrating when doctors 'don't know' or we have to 'wait and see'.... I hope that you are able to get some more definitive answers in the next few days and that your mom continues to feel better and improve. I continue to keep you, your mom and family in my prayers. Take care.
Thank you so much for that Carol. And you with so much on your plate to pray for... I'll keep you and your family in mine... xoxo
