Evening doctors,

Little update on Dar. She is out of ICU and now in the DCU. She has been off the vent and on room air for 3 days. She moved to the DCU last night.

Dar is still totally in a fog, I am thinking she is out of whack with her meds. She sleeps most of the day. When I can arouse her there seems to be no ill affects from the brain bleed. She still responds and answers all that is asked of her.

Her meds are as follows, Keppra @ 500mg twice daily, Dantrium @ 50 mg twice daily, Dilantin @ I believe 200mg twice daily, her baclofen pump is only @ 200mcs per 24 hours and the bolace feature is off.

We are getting closer to getting to CM, Kurt is coming tomorrow for an assessment(formality I hope) and I have spoken to Cavi just yesterday. I understand she and you doctor D have been in contact.

I have requested a CT Scan just prior to discharge so that you have the latest and greatest info regarding the condition of the "bleed". I hope this is appropriate and helpful for you doctor D.

I don't know exactly when discharge is planned but I thought it important to get this info to you as soon as possible.

I wished our return was abit more of a happy visit, but I am thankful that she will be back with you doctor D. I am sooo looking forward to getting her pump set correctly with you and doctor Dawson and her meds where they need to be.

I will keep you informed as things come to light. Exhausted and wiped out again I find comfort and new hope as we get closer to getting her to you, I've said it before, "thank you" will never be enough.

Danny
