Just Another Day In The Life.................

Since I last posted, Jeff has finished his radiation, was extremely weak for a week or two. Then one day he went out and played 9 holes of golf. Don't ask me how, but he was out there and he swung a club. That's good enough.

This past week he went to work a couple of days for a couple of hours each day. I don't know how much work he did, but I do know that he had some good lunches out! Friday we went to Wimberley to watch Maggie's volleyball scrimmages. He then went with his brother and a couple of other guys for a weekend at the ranch in South Texas. He apparently had a great day on Saturday. He drove the tractor a little and ate a lot! Had he been able to drink a beer it would probably have been a perfect day.

This morning when Greg went to get Jeff up to go to breakfast, he looked to have had a possible seizure and was pretty unresponsive. Greg called 911 and the Uvalde EMS came out. After evaluation they decided the best option was Star Flight to San Antonio. Once again Jeff got another helicopter ride. Maggie and I went to SA and convinced them to transport him back to San Marcos. They didn't want to, but we wouldn't take NO for an answer.

It took most of the day, but he is now resting comfortably at CTMC in San Marcos. Once again his entire left side was paralized and he seemed to be pretty out of it. However, when we left around 8:00 this evening, he was using his left hand. His leg was still not moving, but I bet it is by morning. He is being treated for aspiration pneumonia. It appears that this was all brought on again by a small bleed in his brain. I have a feeling this will become somewhat routine.

Just another day in paradise!
