I removed DanoT, myself and my wife from the roll call. Lucia had a fall exactly a month ago, from toe on track binding sliding forward resulting in a concussion from hitting her helmeted head on snow, we assume. A week ago, due to some loss of motor control, especially on right side, we went to local ER where CT Scan (she also had one a few days after fall) found slow bleeding on both sides of her brain. They moved her to hospital that specializes in this type of injury and put drain on one side of her head on Mon, on the other side on Tues. and she came home Thurs.
She was doing well, taking short walks in neighborhood in the evening and only a couple of Tylenol the first day, one the second and none yesterday when she felt some numbness in her left foot during walk. It got worse when she went to bed, spreading to her left leg with a little in left arm so I returned her to hospital she was released from very early this AM. She was able to walk into ER and explain to Dr. her problem.
CT Scan this AM did not show any change from one before she was released, but they are keeping her at hospital, where I am not allowed to visit her, so I am now home. Yesterday, I canceled her flight to Steamboat where we planned to ski a couple of days before Gathering (I was driving). All my lodging reservations all cancel-able which I planned to do as before this latest setback. Lucia already was not supposed to drive for 4 weeks or go to altitude or drink alcohol for 6 weeks. I'm still hopeful for a full recovery and that she will get on skis again this Spring.
