Sorry

I should have updated this earlier today, but since I sent out the email I wasn't really thinking about it.

Dad called me before six this morning to tell me that Karen tried to get out of bed by herself last night, and she fell and hit her head again. She has been admitted to the Methodist Hospital ICU and we don't know how long she'll be there. Apparently all her other injuries are pretty much ok still; they did a couple of CT scans on her vertebrae, but they did say she had another tiny bleed; about the size of a grain of rice.

She is somewhat responsive although not nearly like she was. Dad said she can wiggle all the fingers and toes at least and that she nodded a few times. She's got a feeding tube for now as well.

We don't really know what this means in the long run, and Dad and I really appreciate everyone's support.

More tomorrow...
