We hear that Martha worked extra hard today -- they knew that she would be going to see Dr. Krisht tomorrow, so they wanted to get her therapy time in today. Tasha (and Martha herself) reported to Amanda that even though therapy went long she did very well. I stopped by to see her this evening and she was still awake, but anticipating the big trip tomorrow. The rehab staff will transport her (but not me) to St. Vincent, where she will have a CT scan before visiting with the brain surgeon. I will meet her there.

Amanda is disappointed that she is not yet able to go with her mother tomorrow, but she still tires pretty easily in that sort of situation, so she will stay home tomorrow. She had two appointments today, a visitor came by briefly, and took several phone calls, so she will have to take things easier tomorrow. She has to increase the things that reduce her adrenaline and decrease the things that increase it. It's a tough balance. She is better than she was a few weeks ago, but she still isn't improving as fast as she would like.
