Karen was moved to a new room on Friday, it's much quieter than MICU and she has the room to herself. They continued to adjust the medication and she is more alert every time we see her.
Dr. S talked to us today to show the MRIs to the kids and explain to them what's happening. He told us that Karen has no pain and doesn't worry about what's happening because of where the tumor is. Because connections in her brain are broken she may recognize you but can only get some people's names, for example at one point today everyone was either John the psychiatrist or a security guard. Later she figured out most of our names.
For now she will still be in the rehab hospital and we will take things day by day. She enjoys visitors just not too many at once and she likes having friends stay the night. The flowers she's received brighten up the boring room. Thanks to everyone for these gifts!
Thanks also for all the calls, meals and offers for help! We really appreciate it!
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We will try to keep you posted.
Love,
Jen and family
