Back in May my wife had a difficult delivery. After being anesthetized for an emergency c-section, her larynx closed during intubation. They worked on that problem for a few frantic minutes, then decided to reverse the anesthesia with drugs and do a spinal block. Her larynx opened after she woke up, and the surgery proceeded very quickly after that. During the time her larynx was closed, she and the baby were without oxygen.
A few weeks later she had what seemed to be a small stroke with temporary right-side numbness and paralysis, and since then she's had occasional short migraines that sneak up and stab her in the head. Since all this started, her once-mighty short-term memory has degraded to, say, the level of mine.
She's had a CT scan and lotsa blood tests, and Thursday morning she's scheduled for a head and neck MRA, an echocardiogram and sundry other small stuff. If you have a moment during the day, how about a quick Ave?
UPDATE: Thanks! Y'all are just like the folks on our homeschooling email list (hi, Ellyn). The tests went well and the MRA even went faster than expected. Now we just hang out and wait for the doctors to make something of it all (we hope).

Will do so now!

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
