I am speechless, I am so happy for you that the doctors listened to you and tested him. Take care.

Thank you each - because I had warned the doctors of the need to check Rick - because of the CNA that allowed him to fall and he hit his head - finally someone did do the testing to see that he did in fact have bleeding in his brain - yesterday - while in the NICU (nurological intensive care unit) the found that he had two large blood clots in his right leg and several small ones in his left leg - they had to go in and place a vena cava filter to catch the clots - before they could reach the lungs - the nurosurgeon said that my knowing Rick's behavor saved his life. They did transfer him to the NCCU (nuroligical critical are unit for last night and today - they may transfer him back to the rehab unit tomorrow - depending on how he is doing. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for your prayers and support. I have felt a guidence and direction throughout this whole process and know that with every turn - I have had the presence of God working with me and through me.

Keeping you both in our prayers here as well
