Heading back home, Wada is behind us!!

Well yesterday went very smoothly until Toren became disoriented and had garbled speech after the Wada... so he had a second angiogram which cleared any concern of stroke. We all spent the night up in Neuro ICU - I have decided to consider it a test run for September, now we better know the lay of the land!! While it was a long night it was made easier by Fiona's company in the afternoon and evening and having Helaini along to share the journey. Boy is it great to have a trained professional on board... she is so good at this stuff, asking tough questions of the doctors and checking details with the nurses.
This morning he is is a little wobbly but very perky and his memory and speech is close to his current baseline... so home we head.
I am looking forward to a quiet shabbos dinner and sleeping in my own bed. We are all emotionally drained from the curveball, and we are very grateful to have had the support of friends, and a place to stay in the city to help us ride the wave.
Shabbat Shalom everyone.
Martina
