It is amazing what it does for Alyssa's spirits when she has a good couple of days and a couple nights. The last 2 days have been great. It has been so fun to have her personality come back. Every day she gets better and better. She is even joking around with the nurses and doctors.
The doctors are still little confused on her case. We have not got the results back from the spinal tap yet. The results from here came back negative they are waiting for the results from California. The neurologist wanted to to another MRI to see what her brain is doing. She doesn't like doing those at all. When she came back she was pretty stressed out. Bless her hear she is so tired of all of the tests.
When the nurse told her this morning around 5 that she didn't need to get poked everyday for blood tests. I think that she was going to get up out of her chair and do a dance.
The results came back from her MRI and the hot spots are all shrinking. I think that the doctors are all shocked. I really think that her brain is just taking a little longer to recover from all that has happened. She really doesn't want to have another MRI. I told her that she might have to have another one just to make sure that all is well.
Her homework from the lung specialist is to find up with a question that he can't answer. He always asks her bizarre questions and she can't figure out why he is asking her these questions. Any one have any bizarre questions for her to ask him?
Hi Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteI think I have a riddle for your Lung specialist:
Riddle: What kind of cheese is made backwards?
Answer: EDAM cheese (written backwards is edam)

If he got that one pretty easily, then he probably thinks he's pretty smart, so try this one on him for size:
Riddle of the Eggs
A man was walking down a road carrying a basket of eggs. As he is walked he met someone who buys one-half of his eggs plus one-half of an egg. A little further and meets another person who buys one-half of his eggs plus one-half of an egg. Later he meets another person who buys one-half of his eggs plus one half an egg. At this
point he has sold all of his eggs, and he never broke an egg. How many eggs did the man have to start with?
Solution: 7 eggs. The first person bought one half of his eggs plus one half an egg (3 1/2 + 1/2 = 4 eggs) This left him 3 eggs. The second person bought one-half of his eggs plus one half an egg, (1 1/2 + 1/2 = 2 eggs) leaving the man 1 egg. The last person bought one-half of his eggs plus one-half an egg, (1/2 + 1/2 = 1 egg) leaving no eggs.

I'm anxious to hear how he does and if this brightens your day. I hope it does.

Wow, Patrick, you impress me with your smarts. I'll have to use that one to impress people sometime. Alyssa, I would be sick of all the tests too. Is hope you don't have to have any more MRIs. I hope your spinal tap test comes back okay. As always you are in our prayers.
