Dorothy saw her neurosurgeon for the first time since we left Sierra Vista in January. He was very pleased with her progress, but has some concerns that she may be having temporal lobe seizures, and so is ordering a "sleep-deprived" EEG. Dorothy is excited about the prospect of staying up all night on Doctor's Orders.... She's thinking about making a party of it... What a kid.
Dorothy has what she calls "states" - a confused state (where things seem jumbled), a lost state (where she loses her sense of direction), a dizzy state (random dizzy spells not related to movement) and a shut down state (where she feels like her brain is shutting down like a computer). She feels like she can control the 'shut-down' state consciously, which is good. Dorothy feels like all of these things are getting better with time. But she says that she still feels like she is in a dream-like state all the time.

God Bless you, more, Dorothy and family...........what a process this is for you all. It does keep improving; thru all the strangeness; be easy on yourselves and each other - time is your friend. I am amazed at your transparency thru all this. Chin up - which should be easier now! Still praying and checking this website daily.
Man, I must be at this all-nighter affair.
I was actually planning on inviting at least you if nobody else, just because I know that together we can stay up for nearly two days. :D
