Denise's progress is going two steps forward one step back. Today we made a unexpected trip to Detroit to meet with Dr. On monday night her eye and mouth started losing movment by the middle of the night she had little to no control of the left side of her face. On tuesday we called the doctor in Detroit and explained what was going on. Dr prescibed steroids to help with swelling. Today seams like her talking might be improving. We meet with Dr he explained that there are two " different theories" on what cause's the delay with this lose of movement. The first is the facial nerve swells more after the surgery into a area called the tunnel. This causes the nerve to be compressed causing the loss of movment. The other theorie is some kind of virus that Dr didn't talk about much. But did say that also is treatable with meds. Were suposed to call Dr on friday to let him know if we can see any improvments. Denise can't see well enough to watch tv or play with computer, but she's still able to talk on the phone. So give her a call. Denise says thanks for all the thoughts , prays, cards and flowers.
