Unfortunately after Sunday, Pat has not done so well. On Monday, she started going into to deep sleeps, for many hours. This continued through Tuesday. They have been able to feed her, however not all the time. She is suffering from confusion.
Her salt level has continued to be low, and from the staff, this appears to be the reason for the issues.
Today, Wednesday July 4th, they were able to feed Pat some of her breakfast. They also removed the drainage lines from her head.
I had a discussion with the neuro oncologist and everyone is worried abourt her condition and too much pressure on her brain caused by fluid build up (Hydrocephalus). She had fluid drawn out by lumbar puncture (spinal tap). Afterwards, for a few hours she regained some faculties. The she started getting sleepy again, and is not responsive at attempts to wake her up (similar to the other days).
She will probably have another fluid withdrawal tomorrow.
Thanks for all your support,
Scott

Dear Pat and Scott,
I don’t get on the forum much and I am just reading about this for the first time, and it has brought me to tears. My heart aches. Tom and I both send hugs and are hoping and praying that you can put all of this behind you soon. Brighton sends kisses.
Love,
Lucrecia and Tom

Thanks Marilyn,
Right now, it is up to Pat and the efforts of the medical staff to get her moving forward again. I and my parents are doing all we can on the comfort side as well as checking the efforts of the staff (I’m, of course, pestering everyone with questions on her treatment). Just keeping her in your heart will be the best help you can give.
Scott, Thank you for keeping us posted. So sorry to hear of Pat’s current condition. You both are in our daily thoughts and prayers. Love, Carol & Jamie
Give Pat our love, all our hopes are with you guys.
Love
Dave & Irene
You both are in our thoughts and we are praying for strength and healing for you.
Dear Scott and Pat,
Please tell Pat that I think of her and pray for her everyday. Being on the ICU medical staff myself, I know that even though she is sleeping she can hear you. Please whisper in her ear everyday that you, Sammy and Chuy need her. Give her the strength to fight thru this set back.
