Hi everyone:Sorry I've been remiss in posting updates -- nothing since Saturday morning represents a near-drought for me these days. To be honest, this weekend was sufficiently terrible, for the most part, that updates would just seem depressing.
Patty vomited much of the day Saturday, and gagged, coughed and slept most of Sunday. Her attempts to be active for short periods seemed to make matters worse. A 30-minute visit with the neighbors pretty much drained Patty of all her energy...and this after a four-hour nap.
We both worry that we're approaching a crossroads, where Patty may require more constant medical care and perhaps hospitalization -- and yet we're also hopeful that this is just a phase. The prospect of extended hospital stays seems mostly untenable, at least while there's any other options.
Early this morning, I thought we were in for more of the same, but Patty has seemed to make a more-or-less miraculous recovery over the past hour or so. It's funny -- Patty has now adjusted her expectations so that a day of feeling queasy and weak is a good one. I have business calls today, and Patty wants to tackle thank you notes, and we've even entertained the idea of going for a short walk. We don't want to push things too much, but I can understand why Patty wants to take full advantage of the rare times when she escapes the malaise.
If there's more to share later, I'll be sure to write.
Love,
Brian
From Saturday -- feeling terrible
From Sunday -- battling the tubes
