~yesterday afternoon

Good morning;
I will not last long here because I am seeing aura even now. I need to sleep a bit more and hope the migraine does not take hold for long...
But first to let you know what happened last night.
I received a frantic call from Berta.
Casey had been complaining of severe chest pain and shortness of breath.
Within a few moments she had begun shaking from head to toe.
The doctor immediately called for a portable chest xray-
When the Xray people got to Caseys room, Roberta and Greg were shown out immediately...
Suddenly the doctor and many more nurses were paged to KC's room.
Berta called me again, -if I thought her 1st call was frantic, I was wrong...
But with this 2nd call, I was on my way without doing any of the things that normal people do when they leave their homes. (I might have broken a speed law or two, and I might have stopped and then gone through a red light to get there faster).
By the time I got to her room there were still three nurses and a doctor present. They had already also run an EKG, which was normal- save for her heart rate being so high.
Incidentally, her heart rate has been over 110 for the last few weeks. When I have asked these health people about that, they have always dismissed it saying, it's this, that or the other thing...
Making me wonder now.
Greg and Roberta had been allowed back into her room...

This photo speaks volumes...

Remember that IV they said they could not 'do' another of? She now had two running!
One for anesthesia, and one for the atavan and something else.
Thinking she may have a blood clot in her lungs, they had also given her an injection of lovenox to her tummy.
My longtime wonderful friend Lynn, (who is also Caseys Godmother), came almost immediately; even Randy showed up. We were all so worried sick...
After what seemed an interminable wait, she was taken to xray for a CT Scan.
Another LONG wait before being told it was negative for blood clots.
Why is it that all this stuff seems to happen in slow motion; and yet when the doctors are talking to you, it seems as though they are chattering... ???
And now the task begins to show what may be causing the pain in her chest, and the body tremors.
Perhaps I shall nap a bit before I head back up there.
I hope you are all having a good weekend.
My thanks and my love to all.
XOXO
Me
