SEVEN YEARS AGO BREAKING BACK

Hi folks, Candy here, just a quick update on the medical mystery that is Jason! So as Vicky mentioned, the "fractured vertabrae" has now disappeared, despite just having been measured for a brace before being told that he was ok! But he has now been transferred to the other Neurological ward (25), to be further investigated. He has had no more "seizures", as we are kinda calling them, although the general concensus is that it it's not. More likely a problem with either high blood pressure/heart, causing lack of oxygen to the brain and the result looks all intense purpose like a fit/seizure! So they want an EEG, to check brain function again- initial scans have been fine, and an ECG to monitor his heart function- maybe over 24hrs to give a good reference point. Being Bank Holiday weekend though all the Doctors are off scoffing easter eggs lazy buggers!!! So we will see how he is today and he will get seen again in the mornin to assess to see if he can come home for a couple of days then come back as an outpatient? The other thing is, as well as the big ones he's been having these "episodes" where he is not quite there!? Ok imagine talking to someone and you have their full attention and eye contact, then they kind of disengage, eyes start wandering around the room, talking almost mono-syllabic, but still there, just not quite how they are normally?! Hope that makes sense! So I've been told when this happens next, to get the nurses to visualise it too, take his full obs-Bp, O2 levels and blood sugar, and if I can, to video him, so that they can see the difference! Really feel they are taking me seriously on this ward and feel positive, so far! Jason, however, can't really remember much at all, he was aware of most of the things going on at the time - apart from the seizures themselves, but feels he's pretty much lost this week! He came in on the 15th. He's not happy about not being able to go home yet! He's a bit scared understandably, but more disgruntled at being here again! Missing home and missing all you guys too! Thanks for the wonderful wishes btw! He needs a bit of a lift. Anyway I'm under orders to go off and get his Lordship some lunch, so I will end this now. So thanks for reading and take care folks!! Candy.
