Chapel Hill....again!

Well...here we are at Chapel Hill once again! Lauren has been fighting migraines for the last couple of weeks and we began to get concerned this week-end when the medicine was not taking the migraines completely away. She would get better at night and then the next morning the migraine would be back and she would sleep most of the day. We were having a hard time getting her to eat and last week she had two low blood sugars in the mornings. This afternoon when her migraine came back and was a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, I put a call into to Dr. Muenzer. He told me that she was headed to the hospital and after speaking with the peds neurologist and Dr. Muge, the decision was made to admit her to Chapel Hill. By the time they called us with a room, it was 8 pm and we got here around 9:30 pm. We were able to come right up to the room and by the time they got her admitted and got all the initial stuff done it was close to midnight! They finally got her medicine up and running around 1 am and she is now sleeping. We will probably be here for 7 to 10 days as that is how long is usually takes for the DHE Protocol to work. We are grateful for her wonderful doctors who don't take any chances with her and hopefully we will get this taken care of and be able to enjoy our vacation! So for now...we are confined to the 6th floor of the Children's Hospital at Chapel Hill!

I am sorry to here you have another stay in the hospital but glad it is now so hopefully all will be good for vacation at the end of the month.
Hope Lauren is feeling better today.

I know you & Lauren hate these long stays in hospital but at least it is Chapel Hill. I tried a short trip out with Mark today & it did not go so well. The jarring was really painful so maybe by Monday I can ride up to see you :(
I will call though - Love you guys!!!
