Day 2

Alissa and Gaylen arrived early this morning. Julia had a restless night, but saw some improvement in her vision. She is still relatively alert, talking, making lists of things she still needs to do, and is making a joke or too.

She is scheduled to have another CT Scan this morning to see if the clot is shrinking.

If the clot is not shrinking or her level of alertness dimishes in any way, she faces brain surgery to remove the clot.

That is all we know for now. More later!

Dearest Julia,

I'm in shock ... and anxious to speak with someone to learn more, and to learn what I can do to help you and the family in any way. Someone, please phone me on my cell at 415-407-7888. My thoughts, my heart, and all my love are with you. When can I see you? Maryellen

Julia, Harley let me know what happened and I too was just so surprised to learn of your health news. I am here so if there is anything at all I can offer you or your family, don't hesitate to have them call or beam me up at the Terraces. Many, many hugs and thanks to you all for the blog! I think it got sent to JaNell's email but if someone could add me at thetrueloveco@comcast.net, I'd be most grateful. Love, Cindy and JaNell

Dearest Julia,

I am in disbelieve, we had such a good time over a couple of glases of vino on Tuesday. Who would have known. You are in my thoughts and I am sending you all my positive wibes in order for you to get well soon. And to Julias wonderful family. Please let Harley and me know if we can be of any help. We will be away this weekend until Sunday morning but then we will be available for Banby sitting or anything else you need.
Much love to all of you,
Ute

Julie, I want to be there with you as you were always there for me. I have been told to wait until the family says ok. Hang in there! You can do it. I will be there soon for a visit. Lots and lots of love, Alice

Julia, good news about the solid food today. Sorry about the lack of wine. We will save some for you. Have fun with your new ipod. We think of you every moment - and wish you well. Hope you get moved soon, too.
Love Harley
