My dear friends, I got a call tonight from my youngest daughter.  She had been in the ER most of today trying to find out the reason why the headache that she has had for the past several days wasn't getting any better.  They sent her for a CT scan.  The results were troubling and they now want her to be seen by a neurologist in Des Moines on Monday.  Their tentative diagnosis?  Either she had a small stroke or she has a cranial aneurism.  She is only 28 and has three young children. 

Unfortunately there is a very good chance that she could possibly have an aneurism.  Her paternal grandmother died of one when my daughter was only 16.  They warned the family then that there was a possibility that they could be inherited and to keep an eye on all the children born to the family. 

Her symptoms today were blurring of her vision in her left eye, some vertigo and slurring of her speech.  She described the sensation as feeling like someone was cracking an egg on the top of her head and as the contents would spread, the skin and tissues would become cold and numb. Eventually it spread all the way down to her neck.  I had hoped that it was just a migraine or cluster headaches like I get, but the sensation though similar is not the same.

I would ask of each of you that if you could spare any healing energies that you direct them in the direction of Osceola, Iowa this weekend and Des Moines, Iowa Monday.  She is scared and I am concerned for her.  I don't want to jump to any conclusions nor do I want to think the worst case scenario.  I do want to send her calming and soothing energies so that her own fears don't overwhelm her.

I will update as I know more.

Thank you all so very much.

Small update -  I spoke to her this morning and she is feeling about the same.  They have her on aspirin therapy and a mild painkiller.  They have asked her to rest as much as possible.  I will know more after her appointment tomorrow. 

Love and Blessings,
