The CAT Scan

Sorry, I left things in the air, it was kind of tense until we got to the hospital. The CAT scan was to make sure the Interferon wasn't causing hemorrhaging, apparently one of the bad side effects. Thankfully, no bleeding from the Interferon.

The rehab doctor was finally able to get a hold of Rach's neurologist. He is planning on visiting Rach in the morning and she will also be getting an MRI. I'll update the site as soon as I know something.

When we got to the hospital Rach was sleeping and out of it. Rach's father-in-law, Jim, showed up and prayed with us. Shortly after Jim left, Rach woke up, and was alert and hungry. She started talking to us and the beautiful "Rachael smile" showed back up too. The nurses and staff at rehab have come to expect her smile (she simply never stops being cheery). Her smile has become the gauge for the staff when something is wrong with her.

I saw the change that prayer at that time made... in other words, keep praying.

Rachael is in my prayers every single night. I talked to Aunt Lydia yesterday and she will do the same.
