What a whirlwind this week has been....

Instead of providing an update in little tidbits on facebook, I thought I'd write it all here and then blast to facebook that I wrote it and let that serve as my update for tonight.

Hubs woke up at about 4:00AM this morning with a terrible, terrible headache. He toughed it out until about 6 and then while I was getting ready for work, he came out and told me about it and almost immediately started vomiting. With that, I determined that we were going back to the ER. We got there about 6:45 and they decided to re-scan his brain with a CT and make sure there was no new bleeding or missed bleeding from the previous CT scan. That came back clear. With that, they decided to do a spinal tap to see if there was any bleeding that wasn't showing up on the CT scan. That also came back negative. So, they sent him home.

It looks like what they're technically diagnosing him with is "concussion syndrome" or "post concussion syndrome." Reading the information, it seems like that is definitely what's going on and it's likely that the headaches he is having are migraines. We have an appointment with a primary care physician tomorrow so that should give us more information as well.

The calls, facebook messages, and texts have been very important to us and we greatly appreciate you sending them! Thank you for keeping him and us in your thoughts and prayers!
