We had a set back, but we are back on track... or we changed the track?

 

So things were going well until Chad said @ 6 am Sunday morning.

I think I am leaking brain fluid.

 

 

It seemed that indeed he was and the Dr. had us

do a test. Put some ointment on it and if

it was leaking it would bubble.

 

Sure enough it was bubbling. So we packed up our clothes

for the week and left for Seattle. We were supposed to go

to Seattle Wednesday anyway so they could turn the ABI on, on

Thursday and Friday.

 

So... off we went. Over the pass which was a snowy

night mare. We were told they closed it about an hour

after we crossed it because it was so crazy.

 

Got to the hospital where the Dr. met us and

admitted him. They needed to put in more stitches

and could not use any anesthetic because if things were coming

out then they could also go in, and cause infection.

It was extremely painful. Then they put in an IV, took blood,

gave him eye drops, and eventually a sleeping pill, he had a nightmare,

that scared him and he clenched his teeth so hard

it caused him a migraine, so they gave him something for that and

then he was so freaked out he could not sleep for a while.

 

It was a very bad night.

 

We are home now... 2 days later.

They are going to wait 3 more weeks to turn it on.

 

Hopefully he will heal quickly. He is having a very rough time.
