Wed 7/2 pm

I went up to the hospital late last night. When I got there, the consensus was Jana had had a headache for most of the day and was in a lot of pain. The doctor was up there late, so fortunately they were able to talk to him about it. He said it was to be expected for her to have these headaches for quite a while, due to the excess fluid in her brain. Aneta brought up the CAT scans showing similar images, and he again said that was normal b/c of the slow process of the catheter. He did say that there's a good possibility that they will need to replace the one she has now, to reduce any risk of infection. Jana's equally big complaint last night were her ears hurting (internally). The doctor examined her ears, and saw nothing too unusual that would concern him, though he said for them to tell the meds doctor in the morning. Aneta did mention to the doctor that Jana has had a history of ear problems.

Now despite the pain, when I was in the room with Jana, her memory was the best yet! Though she seemed to have to really focus to come up with some answers (like the doctor asking what the date was), she did quite well. Best of all, she was able to stay on topic, rather than confuse events or dates. That alone was very encouraging!
