Hi all,
Becca is slowly getting back to normal, though it is going to be a long hard journey with her stamina/O2 issues, she can now walk about 100feet without becoming too breathless. Other than her energy she has virtually recovered fully from the brain abscess and the resulting surgery.
We have had loads of follow up appointments at the hospital and she has thankfully been discharged from re-hab except for one more rehab doctors follow up in December. The brain surgeon discharged her last week with a clean bill of head
and s did the ophomology dept.
The only doctor we shall carry on seeing is Infectious diseases because it seems that she will be on antibiotics 25/7 - 365 days a year for the rest of her life, that is the only bummer in this, but it beats going through all that again. Hopefully the antibiotics will prevent another abscess.....hopefully!!
We have ha family visiting from England, first my mum, brother and wife and now Davids mum and soon his niece also, so from May till nearly the end of August we have been a-visiting, its been sooooo good, especially for Becca.
Because of the visitors I havent been on the boards, It was Noah that bought me out of lurkdom
.
I shall be going back to lurkdom until I can give the boards the time they deserve and my undivided attention and then hopefully I will be able to start that TR I owe everyone. My undivided attention is not going to happen until our visitors have gone back to England. It is so nice when our families visit, we dont want to waste a minute of it.
See you all in August
Love
Mandy
I bet it is hard to have to do it all yourselves now though. But there is something to be said about doing it all in your OWN livingroom as opposed to the hospital. Give Becca a big hug from us!
