We've had some changes this week.
Early Wednesday morning Karen had a seizure while sleeping. While we always knew this was something that could happen it was quite something to wake up to after her not having one ever in this 2 year journey. The paramedics got her quickly to the Grace and after some stabilizing and assessing the ICU doctor made the call to transfer her to the MICU at HSC where her doctors and other specialists would be available. Once there she had an EEG, MRI and lots of attention from old friends and great care.
Today we got confirmation that the tumour has progressed significantly since her last MRI in September and that progression had caused the seizure. With anti-seizure medication and steroids for any swelling we have seen steady improvement over the last day and a half. They were also able to remove her breathing tube this morning so communication is becoming easier again.
Tomorrow she will leave MICU and move to another unit to continue to rest, be assessed further and regain function and mobility
Please keep Karen (and me and the kids) in your thoughts and prayers as we move through this new phase of our journey - as she has told you many times your support means so much to us!
