Praying for Natalie!
Praying for Natalie!
I’ve got the munchies. But, I’m pretty full so I don’t need to eat. Communication has broken down twixt stomach and mouth.
Hahaha that’s me in my dreams, no doubt about it!
I will post an update on Natalie soon. It’s been up and down....but at least now it’s like talking to Natalie again. She still can’t shake the irrational fear that she planted into her brain....that may take some more time.
I will report that they did brain scans and she had an area of her brain that was deep red, depicting severe trauma. It shook them up a bit, and they went full throttle on the treatments. Electronic impulses, anti-psychotic medications, etc. She’s undergoing her second round of ketamine in about an hour. She does NOT like it. She doesn’t like the feeling at all.....it’s very strange to her. Probably because she’s never even had too much to drink before in her life. It feels strange. We just tell her to buckle up, too bad, she’s got to do it.
She is doing more now. Playing cards, pickleball, gardening, etc. She has a lovely antique bathtub with claw feet in her suite, and she’s the only one. So she bought a bunch of candles and bath bombs, etc., and the other ladies take turns soaking in her nice tub. She’s calling it her bathtub ministry lol.
In any case, better news to report. Hopefully the brain will repair enough that she can come home - as of now she’s still terrified of the imaginary issues. Either that, or she’s having a wonderful time (says the cooking is exquisite, except for the grits) and wants to stay as long as she can lol.
Thanks for the prayers, Jem. Specifically, that the fear will leave.
