Mom's Update - did not post properly friday night

Somehow my update from last night did not save.

Courtney had an MRI the night before last which showed the 2 injuries to the brain we already knew about. There was no evidence of overall brain cell damage and that was good news.

She also had an EEG which shows brain wave activity. The neurologist told us that the brain is 'working slowly' - I immediately thought that Courtney's reaction would be 'dut da dah!' -
no kidding! - tell us something we don't know! Then she went on to say they wished the brain were working faster - once again 'dut da dah'!

We know that Courtney's body has been working very hard to heal her lungs and fight infection. Now that she has made good progress with that her body can turn its attention (and we can turn our prayer intentions) to healing her brain.

Courtney also had a 2nd CT scan of the lungs which showed improvement in the right lung - the pocket of air is going away and the result is that she is breathing deeper and easier on her own.

While these 'trips' of Courtney's are nerve racking for us and require a team of rt, nurse and doctor to travel with her, she seems to be tolerating them well.
