Hospital Day Six

We had a great night last night.  We both rested well when they would leave us alone!  You don't get much sleep in the hospital between all the people coming in and out of the room and the noises in the hall.  We both are ready to sleep in our own beds!

I think we will be going home today but are waiting for endocrinology to discharge him.  He wants to see him one last time before he's discharged.  I'm sure Chad will have lots of follow up appointments after leaving here.  I don't mind.  I appreciate them wanting to follow him closely.  It eases my mind a little.  They still aren't 100% sure what the diagnosis is.  The doctor said yesterday they had pretty much done a living autopsy on Chad and nothing had come back abnormal.  If it was indeed the hemiplegic migraines, then it's VERY RARE for them to get this bad.  If it was encephalitis, then where was the fever that usually accompanies it and why was MRI normal?  Those are the two diagnoses they are going between.

Chad's mom, brother and Eli dropped by early this morning before heading to the airport for Brian to catch his flight.  I don't know what we would have done if Brian hadn't come to help out.  I don't know what we would have done without any of our family and friends here to help!  We are so thankful and blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hopefully the next post you read will be telling you we are HOME!
Until then...
