Wednesday

We found out today about the 4mm cut in her artery which was going to keep things to a minimum for awhile. What would be best for her was to rest and try to regain energy in her body, release harmful fluids, and let all the pressure from her body reside slightly. Any intense action might cause another stroke, which would damage her brain. Today, which has been very similiar to many seemed to be very long. I think we managed lunch at some late hour. It is hard to tell, time and space is not really all together in this hospital. I couldn't tell you when i slept, when i ate, what frame of reference I was in. She slept most of the day and was roused hourly to check on her status. Her smiles at me melt me to the core. They are the only thing that are keeping me hopeful. We stayed up through the night just giving her encouraging words and love. They have given her aspirin to thin her blood as to not have anymore strokes. I think they took it as light as they could today.
