Migraines Suck-

Well, it has been six days since my last post and I have good reason for it! I came down with a very strong, sudden and stubborn migraine on Wed afternoon. I knew from the start that it was not my "normal" migraine, but I fought it with all I had until I finally felt like I had "broke" early Thursday. Luckily Pat was off on Wed and had stayed home with me Thursday because we ended up in the ER where they thought I possibly had a brain hemorrhage....uh, scared us a bit. After a CT Scan, Spinal Tap, blood work, IV Fluids and lots of pain meds they ruled a hemorrhage out.
THANK GOODNESS!
I do need to have further testing and scans done over the next 2 weeks or so, but at least I am in the clear for now. I am at a higher risk for these kinds of problems since my Mom had a brain aneurysm and I have had migraines for a long time. Hopefully, with early intervention/monitoring, anything and everything will be fine!
I thought that after Friday and being home I would feel a lot better, but it took another 2 full days to be able to get up and get around....it was pretty brutal. I feel a lot better today, but am still very sensitive to sound/light. The kids are on Spring Break and all of our plans have had to change, but we will make the best of it.
Thank you to my GREAT Mommy-In-Law for coming and taking care of the kiddos and to my AWESOME Hubby for all of his care, concern and love!
Ta-Ta for now-

Sorry to hear that you were in the hospital, but so glad that you are doing a lot better now. I will keep you in my prayers.

That's terrible Laura. I'm so sorry you had to endure all that. I will be praying for you and the testing you have ahead.
