Stanford Days 3 & 4

-
Whew! It's been a busy couple of days. Bobby and I got to sleep in on Friday and then enjoyed a late breakfast at Cafe Borrone. It was yummy!

Mexican Mocha 

Savory waffles with ham & cheese inside























Then I had neuropsych testing from 12:30 - 3:30!  If you ever want to feel like a dunce, do a neuropsych workup... Three hours of memory, vocabulary, math, fine motor, and screenings for anxiety, depression etc.... It was exhausting. But I am curious to see how I performed compared to the last time I was assessed in 2016.  One of the upsides is that I have a solid baseline established and we will be able to tell if this new issue has had any effect on my cognitive function...I don't think it has....but it will be really interesting to find out for sure!

After testing we did some errands to Target, Dollar Tree and Costco. Then back to our home base for a delicious dinner cooked by Denis!

Then I finally got to shower (I had to wait 24 hours after the angio) and got to bed.

This morning, we got up and headed up to San Francisco for a late breakfast with Sara, Ryan & Lily at their home. We got to FaceTime with James & Jacob AND Lucas! All 4 cousins on a call together! It was fun and everyone enjoyed the chance to see and talk to one another. After breakfast we all walked to the park and hung out in the sunshine for a bit. The park near their house is seriously amazing and I can't wait to visit again with the boys so they can play there!




I got a nap while Bobby watched the USC game and then we headed back to Palo Alto. Our hosts threw a BBQ for us and invited friends and neighbors who have all been kind enough to offer their support in the next few weeks.  Bobby's cousin Margie was also able to join us. It was a great time and everyone was so nice... We have lots of new friends and a whole list of people who we can call if anything should come up and we need help while we are here.

God is so good and just has surrounded us with support and love. He has done the same for our family at home. Mahalo to the Youngs and Miyagawa for taking James out and just loving on him so much! He is having the time of his life and it is really helping him to stay positive and not be so focused on us being away. Jakey has also been handling things well and we praise God for this!

I would like to ask for prayer for our friend BC. She is also up here from Hawaii for surgery (the day after mine). She was in the ER all day today with what ended up being an extreme case of vertigo. But it caused severe vomiting, nausea, dizziness and pain. We are praising God that she is recovering and that Stanford doctors have determined that this will not delay her surgery. But please pray that she continues to improve and gain strength for her surgery on Oct 2.

We thank God for each and every one of you! Your prayers continue to give us strength and encouragement! We love you!

Scars: Viewer Discretion Advised

Some people have been curious about my scars so I am posting here.  As a patient at Stanford, the largest Moyaymoya Center in the US, I am blessed to have access to one of the best and most experienced Moyamoya surgeons in the world. Dr. Steinberg completed over 180 of these surgeries last year alone and has been treating Moyamoya surgically since the 1990s.  The difference in my surgical experience from 2012 to now was dramatic. In 2012, my surgery was scheduled to take 6 hours...it ended up taking 8.  I was conscious but had no memory of anything until the next morning. I woke up in ICU still pretty out of it and after trying to eat and get up on my own (2 things required to get out of ICU) I ended up throwing up. I was in the hospital for 3 days post op and had a a big line of staples in my head. Fast forward 7 years. My surgery predicted to take 6 hours ended up taking a little over 4. I was not only awake, but ate dinner and talked story with Bobby & Sara...

October 18: Home Sweet Home

Hi everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates! Bobby and I flew home on Tuesday the 15th. We were up early for a 7:30am flight which worked out perfectly because we got home around 10:30 am, had time to grab Zippy's and then take a long nap! Then we surprised the boys by picking them up at school. I think that was the best medicine I could have asked for! The next day, I accompanied Bobby on morning drop offs, went for coffee with him to start our day and then hung out at home. After school, I went with dad to pick up the boys and even cooked an easy dinner for all of us! I'm not too great at gauging my energy and ended up pooped out on the couch! Don't worry.... I was tired but otherwise totally fine. Praise God, it seems like headaches and other symptoms are fading away! Dad took over bath time and Bobby came home in time to put the boys to bed.  I saw my cardiologist on Thursday and got a good report from him. He said my heart seems to be doing well and ...

October 2: late post

Hi everyone! I'm back to blogging! Yesterday was pretty up and down in ICU. I felt pretty good but we just couldn't get my blood pressure where we wanted it. The ideal post bypass BP is in the 130s over 80-90.  As they weaned me off the IV meds to prepare to move out of ICU, mine kept dropping.... Sometimes under 100.  My awesome nurse Heather noticed that when that happened I would have some nausea and get super sleepy. So she kept in touch with the team and they put me back on the IV at a low dose. But as the day went on, the neuro team felt that I am OK at a low blood pressure and made the decision to look at symptoms rather than the numbers. Of course that wasn't easy for us to get on board with because we still have worries about language. Heather was cautious too and worked with us to wean off the meds at a pace we felt OK about. Seriously good nurses are the best part of the recovery process. She and Ilana (another nurse) took great care of me all day and I felt ...
