Jaimee finally got the results back from her brain scan on Monday. The abscess shrunk somewhat but not as much as the doctor wanted. She also was not able to keep anything down for a day or two, so he wants Jaimee to stay on the IV antibiotics for several more days.
Also, he set it up that she could get home health to come and administer the drugs and monitor her at home. She was starting to stress out about having someone watch the kids and someone else drive her to the infusion (or whatever you call it). It took about 3 hours between getting there, them finding a vein that didn't blow, and getting home. This way it takes 1-1/2 hrs. at home.
This post is from Kenna as Mike has had a really busy week. I welcome him updating this blog as he says it all so well. Sometimes I tend to get emotional and end up saying too much or too little. But Jaimee is starting to get on her feet from the illness this week. She has another scan on Monday to see what the lovely abscess is doing.
I think we should name it. What do you all think?

What a blesing that Jaimee has such a great family and supptort system that watches out for her. Our prayers are with all of you! we love you all so very much! A big thanks to Mike for setting up this blog! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHey if you do name the abscess, I would like to hear. :)
How about Fred? Here's my thinking...there's a movie called "Drop Dead Fred". So when we call it Fred, we're really telling the lovely abscess to go away and be dead, leave our Jaimee alone.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Fred. What do you think, Jaim? After all, this thing really likes you and is so attached to you.
