Just when you thought it was over...

So I know I said we were closing the blog but unfortunately Adri has had some setbacks. Last Thursday she woke up in the morning and had double vision and some other nerve issues. She called Stanford and she was asked to come down to Stanford for a CT scan. It was a really long day and after her CT scan and meeting with Dr. Harsh, he confirmed that she is having some late on set nerve symptoms. The CT scan looked good and there was nothing glaring which was good news. The other tough news to swallow was that he is not sure of what is causing the symptoms but he is hoping they are temporary and hopefully things will self correct during her recovery. Everything right now is a wait and see. If we get to a year and she is having these same issues then they we re-evaluate and consider these nerve issues permanent. Waiting is the hard part, wait, wasn't that a previous blog entry? It is still true!

Adri is currently up in the mountains and slowly working on her recovery. Her balance is still a bit shaky but she is making progress. She waled 2.2 miles, slowly, but she did it. She will most likely sleep the rest of the day but she is so goal oriented that she is really trying to push herself within her bodies limits and the direction of the doctors. I felt like the coll older sister the other day because I let her drive within the subdivision in the mountains. She had a little bit of a rough time backing up and turning but it is all practice. She did pretty well but not sure she is ready for a long roadtrip.
