Just a quick update on how Joni is doing. She was moved out of the ICU unit this morning and into regular room. There is many less tubes and things hooked up and they don't wake her up as much to check this or that. The directions from the doc were that he wants to get her up and walking 3 or 4 times a day. This will start the process of her brain figuring out the balance thing again. He told us that she won't like it, but you have to do it... He was right about her not liking it. The vertigo is very hard on her and makes her throw up every time she stands up. Not a fun deal. But, the trouper that Joni is, she is doing it. There is some swelling of the nerve area and she has lost some felling in the side of her face that the doctor has indicated will come back when the swelling goes down.
The summary of the update is that things are going all according to plan. The issue is the plan is not a lot of fun.
