Yesterday David started using a new word-why. I thought it was a very appropriate word. It is still amazing to me how one day can make such a difference in our lives. He just came back from the MRI which the doctor says will give us a better sense of what parts of the brain were affected and give a slightly better sense of what to expect.
Yesterday the surgeon, Dr. Dalfino said that the stroke was a relatively small one, but that the “real estate that was damaged was high end”, meaning that his motor skills and speech were damaged. I have been told that the fact that he has a few words is a very good sign, but there are no solid answers to any of this.
His blood pressure is a bit high, which is unusual- I was always the one with the high BP! He is resting quietly. Still no feeling in the right arm or leg. He still has the cough though, and we want to make sure he gets rid of that.
