Be Fearless

Be Fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on Fire

That has and will always be our Ricki... Life has handed her some tough cards. In fact in an interview she says it feels like life doesn't like her but it doesn't matter because she loves life. 

What a week it has been! So Ricki's specialists followed up with us after our trip to the ER. She continues to have some pretty severe chest pains. The neurologist increased one of her pain meds. That has helped take a little of the edge off. Her neurosurgeon's nurse called back and let us know that both Dr Bollo and Mahan had been discussing the situation to determine what to do.  The nurse also said they were going to present Ricki's case to the schwannoma tumor board... So as usual since it is complex it will just takes time to figure out some solutions... However that is so comforting knowing they are taking their time and really trying to figure out what is best for Ricki instead of just rushing into something. We are forever grateful they have taken such great care of Ricki over the past few years. 

On the positive side of the medical challenges for Ricki we finally got an occipital nerve block for Ricki and her headache has been much improved at a 4-5 for 3 days so for and she feels it has really helped. So she seems much improved as a whole because instead of dealing with both the head and chest pain it is just the chest pain. It is comforting to at least feel like we are making progress in helping Ricki find some relief.
