Getting Worse

Hi,

Things have been a little busy. Mandy's symptoms were getting worse yesterday and her
trunk strength and head control were decreasing. The people in inpatient rehab were finally
concerned. They didn't give us much warning last night when they SUDDENLY decided they
weren't comfortable with her medical symptoms on their rehab floor. So they transferred Mandy
by ambulance to Good Samaritan. It was late, they put her in a semi-private room on a crowded,
insanely noisy unit and really didn't do anything at all for her. This morning she saw a neurologist
and all of his tag-alongs and they really didn't have anything to suggest that would help. ZERO help. So
we are currently scheduled to go back to rehab. To say that I am completely frustrated would be the
understatement of the century! And you can imagine that it's way worse for poor Mandy.

The good news is that even though her trunk strength is still diminished, her legs are improving.
Whatever this is, it doesn't seem to be through with it"s course yet.

We love you!  Thanks for all of the prayers and love.

Tami
