Update on Grama Connie 9/10/08

Well my Grama Connie is doing better every day. Turns out that the majority of what was going on was because my Grama stopped taking one of her medications. She was tired of the side effects they were causing and she figured if she went off of it, she'd feel better. Turns out, she needed that medication, side effects and all. The radiation side effects did play a part as well, it is apparently a known complication that about four to six weeks after radiation, water on the brain can occur. It did. I can't recall if the medication she was on was supposed to help that or not.
So, the doctors have got her stabilized, she is getting physical therapy every day as her right side was weakened somewhat. She should be able to go home this week.

Thanks for all your prayers, I really do appreciate them!
