Jodie in UMC

Jodie had an appointment with her neurosurgeon at UMC yesterday morning and he felt that something was “just not right”. Mama has noticed a difference in Jodie’s response and motor skills following the last severe seizure she had in November and Jodie just hasn’t been herself lately. He admitted Jodie to UMC immediately after her appointment and they have been told to expect to be there at least a couple of days while they run tests and monitor her.

She had a CAT scan and EKG yesterday that all showed normal results and no concern. She had a chest xray late last night and an EEG earlier today but we haven’t heard back from the results. Dr. Espisito also wants her to be seen by 2 other doctors that he has called in to see her – hopefully she will see them this afternoon. We are praying that it is just her medicine that may need to be adjusted, but we’re thankful that the doctor cares enough to run tests and try to see what’s going on.

They were in a “holding room” for most of yesterday and were moved to a room at about 8:30pm last night. She is in room 460 South – the phone number is 601-815-2460.

At this point, we really don’t know much but hopefully we will know more after they run all the tests and try to determine the cause for Jodie’s difference in response during the last couple of months.

I’ll keep you all updated when I hear more.

Thanks for your prayers for Jodie!
