day 8 – the early edition

January 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

Can’t sleep. Oh I am tired! A chair in the ICU is just not conducive to sleep.

Amanda has been sleeping pretty well most of the night. Heart rate is down to a very nice range. I know we shall soon be bombarded with people seeking blood and wanting pictures (x-rays). It shall be a morning of tests and, hopefully, answers.

I did some sleuthing last night. The power of the internet is amazing! I sent messages to several spina bifida web site groups that I follow. My message was basically an “SOS” that explained Amanda’s situation and asked for help. I had people responding within minutes. Details will come later but I believe I am on to something! We will be getting a neurology consult in the morning and I can’t wait to see what we find.

Thanks for reading, following, praying.

Oh Lord I can’t wait to get a cup of coffee. Large.
