Rylee had her stimulation test yesterday to check how her brain is producing hormone levels. They put numbing cream on her veins to help with the IV pain and it seemed to help with the pain but not the anxiety of it. Danny once again had no sleep from coming straight off of duty, but he was able to take her mind off of it by making shapes in the numbing cream on her opposite arm while nurse Lori inserted the IV. They gave her a shot of medicine to stimulate her hormones. She had blood drawn every half hour to check the levels of FSH and LH her brain was producing. If her brain is producing way too much then she is progressing rather quickly for her age and she will have to receive medication to stop it. We are pretty prepared for the outcome of the tests, but are still rather nervous. We left the hospital around 12:30. They told us that results will not be in for about 3 weeks and that will determine what steps need to be taken next and how quickly the steps need to be taken. This could be a culprit of her stroke, something other than stroke, or it could just be the normal which seems to be seen a lot in girls and boys in this generation. They do not attribute this to milk, chicken, etc which I know a lot of people are thinking. They do not know a cause, but Danny is blaming it on Madonna! Lol that made the Dr.'s crack up!!!! She has her follow up GI appt tomorrow so we hope or good blood results!!!!
Everyone has been asking about my sweet Maw Maw. She is home, comfortable and surrounded by great care, family and all the seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond. She was very happy to see all three of us yesterday and wanted us to stay longer but she wanted me to go home and take care of Rylee and Danny. I will be visiting her again tomorrow. I'm soaking up the smiles and the I love you's!
