Yesterday wasn't such a good day, but it did improve that afternoon.

I slept well last night until 0130 when Max woke me up to eat. I almost passed out in the kitchen. I quickly sat down on the little kitchen stool and sat there for quite a while waiting for it to pass. (Max was not that patient) I quickly finished putting his food in the bowl and went back to bed. I layed there for 1/2 an hour waiting for my heart rate to decrease and my blood pressure to come back up. It did not. I felt so miserable lying flat, I thought maybe propping up a little bit on the couch would help. So, off to the couch I went. It took about another 1/2 hour before I started feeling better and then I was finally able to go to sleep.

Yesterday I spoke with Vanderbilt. Everyone was so very nice! We are trying to find out how long to plan for being down there before I buy airline tickets. They called back once and said they would review some more information with the nurse and get back to me. It is all so very exciting!
