I saw Joanie this morning and she had a restful night. Her nurse said she was being a great patient, something I've heard several times. I spoke with her doctor and he said they found no evidence of a blood clot in her heart from yesterday's TEE. The MRI also gave them little new information. They believe the stroke to be embolic; a clot originating from the heart and so her neurologist is placing her on Coumadin. She still has a headache that they anticipate will abate as the swelling goes down. She is to be evaluated by the rehab specialist with the possibility of moving her to the rehab unit soon. That would be nice as the unit is closer to school!

It was so sad to hear about Joanie’s stroke. But we are cheerful about her progress. Judy and I and many of our friends here in Norway pray for her continuing progress. Does she have atrial fibrillation? Thank you for updating the blog, Lance. Bjarne (Norway)
