A Request for a Health Update

I apologize for not talking about Meghan's health- there's not much change from a week ago. But I have had a request for more information. So for comparison's sake, and hopefully, for future healing reference, I will attempt to cover each aspect:

EYES: Her eyes appear to be functioning well. She can read small print, and can follow a linear pattern (such as Suduko). She doesn't have to turn her neck at an odd angle to read anymore. This is an answer to prayer and we are very grateful.

FACE: Her face is more symmetrical than it has been in 4 months. She can equalize a smile, with minor effort.

LEFT ARM: Not too much improvement here. Shoulder can lift the arm to shoulder height, but no higher. Fingers don't function at all. The left hemiparesis is a little worse since the second tumor fenestration. They believe that when the tumor collapsed a second time, it released pressure from the optic nerve, and added pressure to the left motor skills.

LEFT LEG: This is improving well, but credit most likely goes to hard work on Meghan's part, according to her PT. Stabillity is improving and the left leg can lift higher and walk faster than ever before.

MEMORY: This one is the challenge. The best word to describe it is "erratic". I can't seem to make sense of it at all. She remembers odd things like eating ravioli for dinner but can't remember having her broviac removed. (This was important to her because it means that now she can swim--her earnest desire). I am hoping that being home, in her own environment, will assist this process.

HER SPIRITS: Amazing. My teacher. My role model. My hero. Always happy, always thinking of others and trying to help someone else. Not even a "glass half-full" girl--her glass is always overflowing!
