- & an update on Crystal Aquielle...

[Guest guest]

- thanks, hon. They put in an IV late Tuesday, have been giving

her fluids around the clock, & Crystal is now more hydrated. They're

supposed to be putting in an NG tube today. They're going to be doing

an MRI in about 45 minutes from now. She's going to be sedated. They

want to keep her in the hospital until at least Monday.They want to see

how the NG tube works out, & monitor the effect of her new seizure med

Gabatril. She's been on this since Wednesday night. Yesterday she was

alot better then the day before. She still had at least 4 tonic

seizures & quite a few complex-partials. However, she was with it at

least 1/2 of the day. The day before, she was out of it almost the

whole day. She's been following this pattern of good day - bad day for

awhile. I'm not sure if it's that pattern, or the new med, that made

yesterday a better day for her. I guess we're going to have to wait &

see what happens next. Monday, the Feeding team wants to run tests on

her for swallowing & such. So, we're here at Dupont at least until

Monday. I'm waiting to hear from the Neuro-surgeon, as to when he'll be

implanting the VNS. I'm hoping he'll do it early next week, so we don't

have to have another hospital stay...

That's it for now...

Give your beautiful great big {{{ HUGS & KISSES }}} for us...

Lots of love to everyone & their Angels...

& her sleeping Princess, Crystal Aquielle...
