Well, after a full day and then some in the hospital, we're no closer to knowing whether there's a tumor wrapped around the main artery to her brain, but she who was starting to seem very husk-like and frail looks, after untold bags of saline plus some magnesium and potassium, like a plant that has been watered. there was no vomiting today, no as-needed pain medication for the neck, and she ate three full meals. That's THREE. FULL. MEALS. For the last few days, five string beans and three tomatoes have felt like a major victory, so this is very good news. Thanks to all who have offered to watch Oona, and thanks especially to Leda and Liz, who took care of her for so long today!
Sarah's last day of work was today, so we'll be at the hospital in shifts, trying to catch the elusive neurologist and to be there when she gets discharged. Stay tuned, sweet people, and we'll keep you posted.
