Many MRIs, EEGs and two lumbar punctures later, the neurologist and infectious disease specialist were stumped, and recommended a brain biopsy. The only thing that stopped a brain biopsy was the neurosurgeon pointing out that it was unlikely a biopsy would show anything that would cause them to change the course of treatment she was already on, and came with a very high risk of catastrophic complications, including brain hemorrhage and death.

Lord, it's like a House episode.

Thanks for the update, Sean. It sounds incredibly rough, but I'm glad she's out of it now.

Also, you would make a good medical writer.

All the doctors and nurses at Cedars were huge House fans. They gave her a pericentesis in her room one night, and the team threw it on while they were performing the procedure.

Also, you would make a good medical writer.

I can certainly keep up with the lingo.

Egad, Sean, it's all been so crazy.

Sean, I'm glad to see you around here, and thank you for posting an update.

How are *you* doing, Sean?

ION, I am in class and I kind feel like I might throw up. This is Not Good. I'm hoping this is just general nausea.

Wow, Sean. I'm so glad S was able to pull through with recovery as much as she has. You both have been through so much, and while I'm glad S is showing vast improvement, I'm just so sorry that either of you had to go through that.

nods at Connies remark and points at Noras question. How are * you * doing Sean?

ION, why is the Golden Girls theme stuck in my head???

Sean, it is indeed good news that S. is out of the hospital and on the way to recovery. I hope the relocation works out smoothly.
