I didn’t think I would be back in the hospital so soon but I was admitted last night. After a great appointment at my primary physicians yesterday, everything seemed to be going well until my mom and I went to Target. I went to order a coffee and couldn’t remember what I always get! My mom said I looked confused and I tried to blow it off. Shortly after I had a headache and a slight temperature. I called my doctors and they told me to head to the emergency room, since I am still taking blood thinners they were concerned about a brain bleed. While in the E.R. I had another episode with my memory. I had trouble remembering a couple of our friends and even family members’. Very scary! After a test determined there was no brain bleed, thank goodness, I ended up throwing up which is very unusual for me. They decided to keep me through the night and….I’m still here. Things are better tonight so maybe tomorrow I will go home, fingers crossed. I’m thankful at times like this that I have had continuous “Nikki sitters”. Thank you all that have spent time with me to make sure things are smooth in my recovery!

Well Nikki you do have to crawl before you start running again. Little steps will keep you healing.
I know how exciting it is for you but we have to remember it hasn’t been that long and you have a lot to look forward to. My prayers are with you. Thanks for the update.

Yikes! Yes a reminder of why we do need constant supervision like toddlers after transplant! You just never know! Hope you feel better and let me know what you find out! that is so strange and hope it is very short lived and just a weird and one time episode. One thing I have learned is nothing is normal anymore and weird side effects can happen from all of these new drugs. So glad you thought to call your coordinator to see what was going on! Thinking of you! by the way I was able to listen to Travis speak at the lifesource event last week and saw your video! Nice job, both of you! I actually taped it on my camera if you want to see it someday! Prayers that they figure this out for you!

So glad to hear it is not a brain bleed. Keep up the healing and we’re praying for you. Having been through two transplants was Zachary I know they’re always bumps in the road. Stacy commented the other day that she would really like to meet you.

that happened to me also with the throwing up and memory loss but I didn’t go to the hospital.
Went to my Dr shortly there after he wasn’t too worried, but in your
case with cystic f probably more concerned
