Friends and Family...
Nancy's condition has improved. Last night, she was moved out of the ICU and into a regular room here at Cedars Tarzana. She was much more aware today— able to communicate, understand, and remember certain things. She even FaceTimed briefly with our daughter Clementine.
Her vitals remain strong, and her sodium level is within normal range. Physical therapists also got her on her feet for the first time in 4 days.
Unfortunately, she has continued to experience some minor seizure activity— each episode lasting around 5 to 10 seconds in length. During that time, her face locks in a grimace and she becomes temporarily nonverbal. The nurses and I witnessed four today-- then the on call neurologist substantially increased her anti-seizure meds in the hopes of slowing that pesky electrical activity down— and she's been resting peacefully ever since.
Thankfully, I’ve been told that City of Hope will soon have a regular room available for Nancy— so the goal is to get her there at some point tonight (we're not sure exactly when-- could be this evening, could be in the middle of the night) and then start working with their Neurology Department first thing tomorrow to try and figure out what's causing all of these fireworks in her head.
Thank you all for your continued kindness and prayers.
