Here we go again...

Okay to start, I cant write anything like my sister so all that r looking for grammar and etiquette mistakes, get a note bad u will need it. My poor sis is sick and by far the got the Mrs. etiquette award in our family :) I am just a good ole' redneck !! o and for all who know I went to LEANDER!! haha OK back to the serious stuff.

I am doing this one a little different... Thanks for reading and supporting our family!

you can send FREE cards to Kylie by going to http://www.dellchildrens.net/patient_get_well_cards ROOM 335
Back to my great sister.. she is making a scrap book of all the cards you send. Send as many as u want as often as u want! She has here phone so u can text her 512-788-6437 (make sure you tell her who u r) she is very disoriented right now. She has not been awake since we checked in yesterday. Which scares me and her daddy.

Little bro is good he is hanging with his granny and popo today. I think going to home depot. OHHHHHHHHH (the Tim Allen thing from home improvement)

Here is what we know thus far:
*she was admitted for constant and extreme headaches
*vomiting
*dizzy
*very "out of it"
*extreme pain in head and eyes
*eye specialist said papilemdema had double in 8 weeks (swelling in the optic nerve)
aka - this is result of swelling in the brain.
*not "feeling" right - she is forgetting things and just not understanding simple task
*the asst to neurosurgeon said lp shunt looks very protruding? idk

PLAN:
* we ran blood work last night to check her organs to see if they can handle the nuclear dye
* waiting on results
* will go "under" to have a spinal tap and the dye injected.
* wait 4 hours to see if dye moves through shunt
*if it does idk where we go from there
* if not then we repeat scans in 4 more hours
* if dye don't move properly then we know the shunt is not working
This is where we r right now, we don't know where or what to expect...

Please pray for all of this and also for Josh, Kylie and I as we have had major issues with the asst to neurosurgeon here this weekend. I will try to keep this up .. Pray my sister is better to do it cause this has taken me all night to type, with ky and nurses.

In Christ-
Karli Reagan
