Step backwards

Courtney had been having a relatively good day today. She actually stayed awake all day, had visits from her mom and dad and was actually able to visit a little. This evening she was looking forward to a dinner of french toast, and while she was waiting for it decided to take the nurse up on the request to take an assisted walk around the floor. She did pretty well, ran into one corner and had to be caught from falling a couple of times, but that's not to shabby at this point. A few minutes after getting back in bed she was hit with a sudden excruciating headache and terrible nausea. When it didn't pass, they gave her some morphine and an anti-nausea, but it still didn't help. They were worried that something had gone wrong, so they rushed her down for a CAT scan. Everything in the scan looks good, but she's really hurting bad, so they've put her back on the heavy doses of the heavy drugs and we may get to do a replay of the last couple of days.

Trying to find some good news... Her eye is feeling a lot better. And they finally rolled in a reclining chair for me so I don't have to sleep upright. Thanks for all the prayers and support. G'night!
