Saturday update

Tara is stable, but they are still concerned about the severity of the brain damage shown in the cat scan. They have scheduled an MRI for tonight, so we'll have the results either tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

I know Tara enjoyed the company today, with CJ talking to her, showing her the picture scrapbook CJ made, and CJ singing to Tara. CJ and her sister Karen are such great friends for Tara, and I know Tara feels lucky to have them at her side. My dad and I even talked politics with Tara, and my dad admitted he might be starting to be swayed by her liberal ideals...hard as that is to say for a Republican. I know Tara must have laughed internally at that statement.

Now that the drug is removed, she's starting to have eye movement, and periodic body movement. We're told it's all reactive, and not likely to be cognitive driven. Regardless, it's still nice to see movement, regardless of the reason. The drug will finally flush itself out of her system on Monday, and that's when the serious analysis of her condition and future possibilities will be finalized. As I mentioned in the previous posts, the Doctors are very concerned that the damage is extensive, as shown in the cat scan. We'll have confirmation from the MRI soon, one way or the other.
