As most of you know, my grandma has not been doing well for quite some time now. Most recently, she was diagnosed with Tolosa Hunt Syndrome. This is a really rare disease that affects the nerves behind her eyes. There have only been about 100 known cases in the world. This has caused her some loss of sight, as well as some horrible headaches. This past weekend was pretty bad for her, and this morning she was completely unresponsive when the nurse came in to check on her. They rushed her to do a cat scan and found a bleed in her brain. She has slowly progressed today and now has some movement in her arms and has been able to get out a few words. The doctors have no idea whether or not there is permanent brain damage or if she'll heal from this. As her neuro-surgeon put it, a healthy person with a brain bleed would be monitored in intensive care and probably make a full recovery, but for someone with the pile of other medical issues that she has, they just have no idea where this is going.
I'll do my best to keep my blog up to date with what's going on with her. Thank you all for your prayers.
